Was Voynichese meant to be pronounced?
#22
I think the most important aspect is the alternation of apparent vowels and consonants. Various analyses have shown that Voynichese likely does something like this. 

We can't know if it was explicitly designed with pronouncability in mind, but it certainly did turn out that way, while it could have turned out differently as well. 

Furthermore, its shapes are familiar enough to Western eyes, which is again a huge boost to pronouncability.
