Note to all readers of this thread: I believe that all of this discussion will become much clearer, if you also refer to Rene's related thread "Successful translation ?", and to my response there in which I lay out a rather detailed summary explanation of all of the letter encryptions that happened in the first encryption step from Greek -> Judaeo-Greek / Hebrew script (mainly vowel changes and ambiguation) as well as in the second encryption step from Judaeo-Greek / Hebrew script -> Voynich text (mainly consonant changes and ambiguation).
I will of course continue to discuss all of the detailed questions and criticisms that Rene, Marco, and others raise on this thread as well, but the "Successful translation ?" thread is a very useful guide, both as an introductory summary explanation of my hypothesis of the author's encryption method, as well as for general discussion of the various ways that the ambiguities created systematically by this encryption method may make reading and interpretation problematic in certain (many!) places in the Voynich MS text.
