Voynichese: a forgotten turkic-aramaic-persian language?
#28
I once wondered about a Turkic solution. The agglutinative feature of the language family resembles what we see in Voynichese:

yat-
yatmak
yatık
yatak
yatay
yatkın
yatır-
yatırmak
yatırım
yatırımcı

göz
gözlük
gözlükçü
gözlükçülük
gözle-
gözlem
gözlemci
gözlemek
gözetlemek

The only problem is that Turkic words are often 8-10 letters long while VMS words rarely get that length.

Semitic languages (like escape's Aramaic) have an "infix" feature similar to Voynichese (qokey - qokeey - qokedy - qokeody) but as Koen points out, Voynich "consonants" have a different distribution than Semitic ones.
