Not words but logograms?

This is similar, but it's still phonetic (albeit with extra steps), I just wonder whether what we're considering as "words" in Voynichese are actually in fact discrete logograms, and what we're considering as letters are actually just "strokes".

I don't think this necessarily indicates that the source language is asian, although it does apply a similar logic to chinese languages. I know there was limited contact between Ming (and earlier Yuan) China and the West, so it's not beyond the limits of imagination that some slightly kooky academic in the southern HRE heard the idea of logograms and went off on one for his new Alchemical handbook.

As for deciphering, that would make it pretty impossible as far as I can imagine.
