I think signs of language in matter of letter frequency may happen after omissions of rule 2, here is where you can see appendices linked in the paper (You are not allowed to view links.

If we use the v101 transliteration, herbal section, as the corpus of reference, as illustrated in the tables below, there is in most cases a large difference between the frequency of the Voynich glyph (or glyphs) and that of the Persian letter (or letters) proposed to correspond.
The Persian letter frequencies are from a corpus of modern Persian, and the frequency analysis would be better if based on Middle Persian (for example the Ruba'iyat of Omar Khayyam); but I'm inclined to think that the frequencies in Middle Persian would not be much different.
And after that, still even if frequency result said it is some kind of Persian, it is not. It is made of coded words. Regarding the sentences and phrases which appear after application of rule 2, I asked some dialectology professors they were unable to identify any living Persian dialects. It is understandable with Persian but not a Persian language itself.
