The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[eggyk]

If the word really is a monosyllable, then that means Voynichese could possibly have extremely long consonant clusters not found in any of the languages mentioned in your post. It seems to me that based on word lengths alone, Voynichese would most likely be Indo-European, now I am also not saying that Voynichese is most definitely Indo-European.

This is only the case if you assume voynichese glyphs represent individual letters. As far as i'm aware, this is not being claimed for this theory. 

In this theory, the idea (I believe) is that voynichese glyphs could represent a variety of things, including -but not limited to- consonants, vowels and tones. Perhaps other things too, like punctuation(?). As for longer words, there are multiple plausible scenarios to explain that, such as a 2-word/syllable phrase for a single term.
