Searcher, try to unite Latin letters in groups and calculate frequency for the whole group, not for separate symbols. In your case you may define group "vowels".
It's great if you get few translations for Voynich words, I often get 50+ possibilities
Life without vowels is so... undetermined.
As for m/n calculations. I considered that y gives 1 m/n, yl gives 2, yt gives 3. In general case, letter doublings were not taken into account, d can stand both for l and for ll, but only 1 piece is added to stats. Yes, we loose a bit in precision, say 1% or even 2%, but that's ok. It's only an argument, not a proof.
But if you get some 10% difference, then something is wrong with the key. That happened to me at one stage: mn share among all consonants should be 18%, but my key gave only 10%. This led me to conclusion that t stays strictly for 2 mn's (it was only conjecture before calculations) and there should be another letter for mn - and this is l
