Dear Cvetka,
this is not so much a matter of complexity.
One may argue that human written language is by itself complex, and each langauge has its own different complexities.
The Voynich writing is perhaps not even more complex. I think one could argue that it is less complex than written Slavionic languages.
The main point is not whether it is more or less complex, but that it is very different.
What Massimiliano Zattera and yourself have in common is a misunderstanding of the meaning of a transliteration alphabet. It is not meant to be a translation. But never mind that point.
The Voynich MS text becomes complex only as soon as one tries to map it to any known language.
Zattera's proposed analysis method also isn't complex, though it may be confusing for people with a more arts/humanities based background.
