Using -Job-'s website I made a list of usual Latin prepositions, conjunctions and another frequent words which is used in the VMs.
in = o - 82 times
ad, ut, id = chd - 8 times
et, de, te = d - 51 times (but "et" can easily be hidden in the word as the add-on "-que")
est, si = s - 244 times
vel, vino, vano = cheo, sho - 195 times
die, dei, dii = dsh - 2 times
non = op, sho (sh with "bow" superscript) - 1+++
autem, vitam, vatum = chedy, shdy - 547 times
sic = lk - 1 time

Thank you, Marco.
I wrote about low number of prepositions and conjunctions in my interpretation, and, of course, I observe the lack of them in the text, when I decipher it. From the other hand, conjunctions, articles and prepositions, primarily, reveal a substitution cipher, for instance, if they are daiin and ol, I think, they could be easily revealed. The conjunction et may be diversified with the similar atque, ac, autem or could be hidden in the words as the add-on -que. Besides, some spaces in the text are unclear, especially in the words beginning with o-glyph, they could be the preposition in. I suppose that some prepositions may be associated with nouns (amotione = a motione).
Example: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. chdalchdy - likely must be chd alchdy (ad rosidum + the next word collutum) (preposition ad + accusative)
But even in this case, ad is very rare in my deciphering
