EDIT: one medievalism deleted
When you link to "section 3.4", you mean this passage?
"The fact that structures like the ones introduced in this page exist, tells us that the MS text is not one that was encrypted from an Indo-European plain text using the type of encryption available in the early 15th Century. Any tentative solution working along these lines will necessarily fail.
The exact word structure has not been identified definitely. This page shows several cases, and in general one may observe that the simple paradigms will 'cover' or 'explain' a smaller percentage of the word types in the MS, while the more complicated ones cover a larger percentage.
The word structure is also likely to completely explain the anomalously low entropy values of the Voynich MS text, though what is cause and what is effect is not yet fully understood."Reads to me more like: "nothing is clear, and it can't be a cipher"
Honestly: alphabet, exact word structure and text type are still "not fully understood", means there is no common ground to hold any safe claims.
At this moment, character set of VMS could even hold a small alphabet with (partial) positional variation or abbreviations -- we wouldn't know.
EDIT: And as always in sciences, "well-known" does not mean automatically something is correct or right.
