I don't think it is possible to decipher the VM script without first understanding the imagery. It is the only way to find a solution. For me the Voynich is a unit with a unique sense, not a kind of encyclopedia.
An essential step is to understand the meaning of the pregnant and naked women. There are many interpretations but the one that has a historical, iconographic and consistent sense with the rest of the manuscript is the one that identifies them with astral spirits.
It is my opinion but it was also that of a great expert in iconology and history of art as Erwin Panofsky.
Maybe it is the water that leads to misinterpretation of naked women, but plants are only born and grow with water and that, among other things, is what the stars bring them.
