This is a subject I find very interesting and important, though I have not studied it yet. I hope it might result in something concrete that can be understood by the general public, this would mean a lot for people's understanding of what Voynichese is like.
My preliminary thoughts are the following:
We might do this by comparing frequencies, which is the direction most people seem to be thinking. But is this enough to derive any conclusions from? Is it possible that some purely vocabulary level "conversion method" exists which has eluded us so far?
Ideally, there would be something like multi-word structures, something like syntax... which appears to be missing from the VM, unless we miss it precisely because of A/B variations?
