Voynich through Phonetic Irish

[Kaybo]

I'm not really sure what you mean. That happens, there are plenty homonyms or near homonyms. The way I'm able to look up words that are bizarre or they don't make sense in context is by finding adjacent sounds from the three dialects and spelling them phonetically into teannglann. The dialects are different and you can use different characters to achieve the same sound as the writing. Some of my words may be off but I look up more phonetic equivalents, I'll listen to the dialect guide over. I just did this with atheagan (which looks like atheadhin, but has a different meaning)

I think that what people here mean with cherry picking. The words differ only in the first symbol, so you start always with the first symbol and then you go symbol, by symbol to find adjacent sounds in old Irish. So in Englisch it would be like: I have a word that starts with Th and then there is something like uhn or ahn or ehn  and the last one is a dr or er or ir. And then you find the word Thunder.
