[Poll] What *are* vords?

There are many schemes that don't exactly fit within the 3 options, even some substitution ciphers can fall outside those 3 options, but if you had to make a guess of what the "usual" vord will map to, in terms of quantity of plaintext characters?

If I have to make a guess, I'd say that 5 Voynichese glyphs correspond to roughly 2-3 Latin characters. But this is just a guess, based on some general ideas about what's likely and what is not. Easily could be more verbose (say, 1 Latin per 5 Voynichese), the only issue with this is I won't choose a scheme like this for 200+ pages, too much extra writing. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine a scheme that would allow for 1-1 correspondence and still support the statistics of the Voynich MS.
