It seems to me that the entropy of words is no less important than the entropy of glyphs, because, firstly, it also looks quite low to the eye, when compared with text in any normal language, and secondly, its low entropy affects the entropy of glyphs . It is obvious that the high frequency of bigrams "ai", "ii", "in" and "ol" is also associated with the high frequency of repetition of the tokens "daiin" and "ol". The limited vocabulary of the Voynich manuscript is also not normal and requires solutions.
I haven't done any research in this area, so I'd really be interested in how much VMs word repetition affects glyph entropy.
