My question was whether the Voynich MS "words" represent complete words in some language, not whether the text is (or seems) meaningful.
As long as we have no idea how the text was composed, we cannot judge whether it is meaningful or not.
Statistics are real data, but the interpretation of these real data almost always involve significant assumptions, for example that the visible words in the MS are really words.
I just want to point out that we don't know this, even when it seems reasonable.
