My thoughts on the VMS

[stellar]

Hi Thomas,
why should not an inflected agglutinative language be enough to explain this?

I am sorry, it seems my example was misleading and my question was lost.
I don't think that Voynichese can be Latin, but I think that Voynichese can be a morphological rich language (like Latin) with a strong agglutinative component (more than Latin, but in manuscripts spaces are sometimes omitted, with the result of a pseudo-agglutination).

As Emma wrote, the fact that words have repeating prefixes and suffixes really points to the fact that spaces are meaningful.

Explaining sequencies like
qokeedy.qokeedy.qokeedy.qotey.qokeey.qokeey
certainly is difficult and I cannot think of anything but some kind of intensification by repetition. 
But is
qokeedyqokeedyqokeedyqoteyqokeeyqokeey
easier to explain?

I have to believe this repetition you point out could indicate the use of incantation like a magic spell.  What folio is this listed in?
qokeedy.qokeedy.qokeedy.qotey.qokeey.qokeey
