You missed "abbreviated words" option in the pool. Something like "dns" for "dominus" or "pp" for "papa". Many people hinted that the encoded text, if it exists, may be heavily abbreviated.
If you take into consideration that things in VM like "aiin" are probably a single symbol then vords become very short, unable to code as many letters as in words from European languages. Of course then there is the Asian hypothesis
But I personally believe they are rather some kind of numbers pointing to words (or syllables) in nomenclator list, something like page 6, column 2, word 7. Not all these stuff has to appear in a single word, short words probably appear on the first page or so.
Or maybe it's all gibberish after all???
So my answer is:
Poll 1: a) words or abbreviated words
Poll 2: Indexed codebook
