Rafal, be aware that you're talking about words and text, something that is not proven in any way.
The reality is that since the Voynich manuscript has been available on the internet, thousands of linguists and cryptanalysts from all over the world have tried, some more than others, to decipher it without success. Enlightened people from the court of Emperor Rudolf II had already tried in vain in the 17th century.
Does this mean there is no text, whether in natural language or encrypted? I wouldn't say that, but it is highly unlikely that there is one. So is the script just gibberish? I would never say that, nor can I explain how people who think the Voynich is authentic can say that.
The simplest explanation is that we haven't delved deeply enough into medieval culture. I have an alternative; there could be others, but in any case, what's needed is more knowledge. Delving into the past is like exploring uncharted territory.
