That's what I'm suggesting to circumvent - namely, to jump from the glyph level directly to the vord level. There can be myriads of mappings of natural languages to Voynichese - Latin, Greek, proto-Ukrainian, Nahuatl etc. etc. In contrast to that, the vord is unambigous, with two reservations only - first, transcription reliability, and, second, inflexions.
If we see "otol", then is it "otol" everywhere. We don't care if it is Greek or Nahuatl. We only don't know if, say, "otolchedy" is related to "otol" or unrelated. This presents additional complexity, but, at the same time, "otolchedy" is always "otolchedy" as well.
