I was wondering if anyone had explored the idea that Voynichese words are a code for looking up other words from a different text such as the bible. I would guess this has been thought about.
At this time it is not my opinion that this is the case, but I think it is an intriguing idea. It still leaves one with problems like repeated words amongst others. It also seems pretty impractical method to use. It also would make the Voynich nightmarishly difficult to decipher as you would not only have to identity the other text, but also how the individual word lookup code works.
(I am still going with a verbose homophonic cipher with filler text, but I think other ideas can be worth exploring.)
