If they are numbers what kind of numbering system could produce the variety of spellings that we see with labels? A numbering system hardly fits the structure of labels.
We see many "unique" labels, how many "unique" adjectives are likely to have been used compared with "unique" nouns? Nouns are normally rarer words than adjectives. Adjectives do not seem to fit the structure labels. Is one saying that all labels are adjectives or just some? What sense can be made of "adjective" labels on the rosettes foldout? To me the default assumption has to be that they are nouns and for me the question is what are the consequences of that assumption that need to be explained such as the repeated "simple" words like EVA-otol? As someone who was already suspicious that there were "null" (repeated) words and also someone who was of the opinion that diplomatic ciphers which contain null symbols were an Influence on the Voynich it was natural to suspect those simple repeated labels were nulls.
