Quote:VMS shows a fivefold shift depending on what came before. Naibbe is flat as Norfolk. Why? Naibbe doesn't know what it just wrote. Each word is encrypted fresh.
Naibbe is a good attempt to create cipher that gives ciphertext looking like Voynich. But Voynich Manuscript isn't encrypted with Naibbe and most probably isn't encrypted with something like Naibbe.
Naibbe is a complicated and very verbose cipher. To get one letter of plaintext sometimes you need to write even 6-7 Voynich symbols. It would make the source text very short and labels would be 1-2 letters long. I can't believe someone would use something like that to encrypt his text.
And when you get into details VM behaves differently in some areas. As you say first letter of a word statistically depends on the last letter of the previous word.

It's a very strange behavior which doesn't appear in any natural language that I can think of.
