Most of these words are composites.
They are two or three syllables long.
This is easily checked with the list of syllables in the link I provided.
Each syllable is written with a separate character, and each syllable is a word or concept by itself. (There are some suffixes that may not have a clear meaning and could not be used stand-alone).
For example: jīnnián
is written: 今年
and means "this year".
This is a case where the composite is also two words in most other languages.
The example: míngtiān
means "next day", or in a single word: tomorrow.
Not long ago, it was realised (here in this forum) that the Voynich word structure still allows for a high number of anagrams. This surprising result has not been further investigated or clarified yet, as far as I know. This is almost impossible for Chinese (when written in PinYin).
