Here are some further thoughts on Persian as a precursor language.

What was missed in the further thoughts here, was the omission of repeating elements. It was mentioned in your writings that almost all different combinations of the Persian alphabet can be found as a word in the dictionary, and left-to-right text was counted questionable for the language. In response, I would say that although Persian is written right-to-left using the current Persian alphabet, writing left-to-right is completely possible for Iranian and Persian languages. The Old Persian (Cuneiform) was originally left-to-right, and now as I write this, people in Tajikistan write their Persian dialect left-to-right in the Cyrillic alphabet, and many young people write in a kind of Pinglish style that is much harder to read than Voynich manuscript itself. Writing and calligraphy are only a way to write down what we say, and when written in cipher, it can even be written vertically or from different directions. It seems a false assumption that any combination of alphabets gives a result in the dictionary. In Persian, as in other languages, words have their own Phonotactic constraints and it is impossible to make words without considering them, and combinations outside these rules do not exist in the dictionary. Apart from this, the word construction for Voynich manuscript is possible with any language, but it is the combination of words that should convey meaning to the reader.
