Are you sure those are Currier B matches? Running a query on daiin.net gives You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. results for B and You are not allowed to view links.

Register or Login to view.Unfortunately many people have already tried to find some direct comparison with almost every modern or mediaeval language, and have all failed to find anything conclusive. It is an idea almost every newcomer to this manuscript has, and seems to be becoming a fruitless line of research.
The notion that Voynichese is a European language (that the proposer him/herself happens to speak) and vords are words 1:1 is of course getting very old, but I don't think this conclusively rules out it being a European language. If, say, vords are syllables or morphemes you'd still probably have small frequent words represented with a single vord, and thus show these effects.
