Have we ruled out simple substitution unwisely?
#44
Right, I understand, and this is an important question to ask. Maybe we will never know whether we overlooked something or not. I think (and hope) it is possible that there's something nobody has noticed yet, that will look obvious in retrospect. 

To simplify things, I believe the situation is as follows:
- You can change the transliteration system to increase h2. But with each step you take, you'll notice that you've just shifted the problem elsewhere. You can do this until you'll have to seriously mess with spaces, thereby abandoning simple substitution.
- You may opt to add in variety yourself, but this is kind of a "build your own Voynich" adventure...
