Not exactly, because what Voynichese words look like, as a whole, matters (a little) especially if there is something vaguely similar in Cappelli. Any resemblance to actual abbreviated Latin can be used to seed the creative writing... Also the same Voynichese text can be interpreted differently in different contexts.

This is not completely unreasonable because in some manuscripts with messy, difficult-to-read cursive handwriting, it's impossible to separate and identify the glyphs: you have to rely on what entire words look like, intuitively. However the VMs is quite the opposite type of handwriting: most glyphs are easy to identify.
