previous research on Arabic and the Voynich ms?

The handwriting is left to right. That doesn't mean the text is to be read in the same direction.

If there was a draft copy made before the current copy, then it's not that hard to copy right-to-left words in the right-to-left direction.

Pretend that is Hebrew rather than English. If a scribe were asked to copy that in the reverse direction, I think most of them could do it.
