There is at least a resemblance between some Voynich glyphs and Latin letters, surely, but I see what you are insisting upon. We should consider the glyphs purely in visual terms, without any reference to Latin or other linguistic precedents. We should think of them as having been designed a priori, from scratch, as a visual code. All linguistic references are misleading.
A parallel, I guess, is found in aspects of the Hebrew Kabbalah. They study the characters of the Torah every which way. Including just as visual images, separate from all linguistic meanings or associations. Hebrew is well suited to this. We could do something similar to the Voynich text.
Forget all similarities to Latin letters. Look at the glyphs as if they were designed as a set from scratch.
