When you remove a prefixes and suffixes, you end up with  roots, which in the VM are very simple, most of the time a one syllable words. This is what Emma M. Smith, Stolfi and some others pointed out. As for the indication of the gender, in some languages, like Slavic, gender is expressed with suffixes, not with articles. The absence of articles in the VM accounts for the lack of high frequency of short words. In Slavic languages, -l and -il (EVA m) are the most clear indication of singular masculine past and future participle. For the female gender, -a is the most frequent suffix for nouns and for verbs, however since words occur in different declinations, and different conjunction, the suffixes are different. 
In the Voynich Manuscript, a lot of information can be obtained from prefixes and suffixes.
