One type is a proposed translation.
The other type is "what the manuscript represents" without any attempt to translate any part of it.
The latter was probably not intended to be addressed by this thread, but there seem to be equally many of them.
* Modern fake by Wilfrid V.
* Depiction of ensoulment
* The travels of a relative of the Barbavaras
* The thing that @moonchild was proposing (don't know how to describe it)
* Others
I made number two on the list! I am honored!
As for Moonchild, I believe she is seeking magic. She is not alone. We live in a world with oceans of misinformation. Just go to YouTube and do a Search on the words "Voynich Manuscript" and you will see all the click-bait stuff that is being pushed because people seek magic solutions to their problems.
If there could be some kind of united consensus on the meaning, even without a translation of the text, then maybe, just maybe, it would take some wind out of the sails of the click-baity-ness of the words "Voynich Manuscript" for people seeking woo-woo magic solutions.
