Yeah, I hear ya. The script follows a certain structure, that's for sure. My main reason for dismissing many proposed 1 to 1 substitution solutions is that they don't account for that.
What I still don't get though (sorry) is what the difference would be between what you describe in the roots section and a list like oakroot, beechroot, yewroort... in this case they have the last same syllable and a unique modifire in the beginning, just because that is the word order in Germanic languages. In Indo-Iranian languages it's like in Voynichese : rootoak, rootspruce, rootwillow etc.
If you assume some degree of abbreviation or ligaturization, this may also explain the phenomenon you describe.
