JKP: I should say that given my approach the true underlying text could be as little as 25% of the length of the Voynich text and unlikely to be more than 50% of the length. If spaces are removed from the Voynich text the reduced word length is not necessarily the problem.
However the question of how this fits with labelese is another matter of importance.
I do have other alternative ideas such as things like positional homophonic substitution .i.e. letters are represented with one unit or unit block at the start of a word and with another unit or unit block at the end of a word. If that makes any sense.
As I say one could in theory have a diplomatic cipher with the addition application of anagrams, though as I said before this is not my preferred idea.
Anyway the hypothesis described previously is the one that I am exploring at the moment; we can look at alternative enhanced/atypical diplomatic ciphers later.
