The text does like to repeat stuff at times, but that is more CLS than my system.
The core part of my system is that I think there are "switches" or Stolfi called them "modifiers", he listed these as "a, o and y".
Using this, and further defining what each of these do its possible to follow the patterns of words beyond repeating shapes.
In the below word there are not many repeating shapes and it certainly would not pass CLS scoring.
The key points of the word are "cho", this "o" tells me anything curve based can not be next, it can't repeat (this is opposite to CLS).
The next glyph used is "k", which is made from a line, finishing in a curve. "choko" this next "o" tells me the same thing, we can't have a curve next.
"i" ("chokoi") is next, I probably need to tweak my system a bit as "sh" is next and is valid but actually what I would expect to see is "ish" to match the shape of "i", its interesting this has a correction of some sort, I wonder if they did "sh" then realised it should be "ish", anyway.. that ends in a curve so the next glyph must be a switch/modifier or a curve. They choose "e" "chokoishe". If the last letter was not "e" but "o,a,y" we would know the next thing can't be a curve and using the preferences of each we could make a good guess on what letter it might be.
So while CLS, and also my system in parts incorporate this "eeee" "iiiiiii" stuff, I look at some words more like "aligator" "al-ig-at-or", each sound on the right has a modifier on the left, its just that Voynich is very rigid with what it does and "aligator" would end up something like "olgetar".
