I will try to explain it clearly.
Friedman thought of a constructed and phonetic language. I don't believe that, but his hypothesis and mine have something in common that is key. We both believe in the meaning of each of the glyphs.
An aprioristically constructed language like the one Friedman thought has nothing to do with artificial languages like Esperanto, which are built with the vocabulary of natural languages. He was referring to a universal philosophical language like the one devised in the 17th century by John Wilkins, which is why he said that the Voynich script was an early attempt. Earlier than Wilkins'.
In this type of constructed language, each unit that forms a word makes sense, it is a concept that progressively includes the following. If we build the language with the Latin alphabet, we can pronounce each word, as we can pronounce daiin, the most common word in the VM, but according to the constructive scheme the d of daiin is a category that includes the whole word, the a delimits plus its meaning and so on. The syntax and morphology of the VM script reinforces this hypothesis as I said in my previous post.
In short, Friedman, after so many years of study, concluded that each glyph in the script was a concept. And that is what we agree on, because I think that all of them are concepts referring to the positions of celestial objects in the sphere.
