I had a look at this text earlier this afternoon.
I converted the Voynichese to Cuva and did a bigram analysis. This suggests that:
- the alphabet size is quite small, only 18 characters, but that may just be due to the short text
- there is a remarkably strict alternation of vowels and consonants
- there seem to be only three vowels
To the extent that I know JKP, I immediately suspected two source languages, but I don't know much about either of them. I did not yet look hard for (romanised) source texts in either language to compare, but the statistics of the short text are not incompatible with them. The word length distribution clearly favours one, but I don't remember if additional word breaks were introduced.
