I often wonder, when I see instances of Voynich characters written like Latin characters (which happens fairly frequently) whether the scribes are writing in Voynichese but maybe visualizing Latin chars in their heads while writing because Voynichese is less familiar to them.
Another possibility is that the cl is a blunder and the scribe accidentally wrote normal text rather than cipher text. It's one of the reasons I wondered whether the d char might be a ligature.
And, of course, it's possible that it's a separate character from d, but less common than most (but not entirely rare).
