Voynichese is a numeric cipher?

Hence my claim that, if it was a plain text in any "European" language (including Russian, Finnish, Basque, Turkish, Arabic, and Hebrew) , just in a funky alphabet and orthography, it would have been cracked long ago.

I agree with you on this. Were the VMS a meaningful text written in a major, well-attested (circum)European language just in a funky alphabet and orthography (I would also add with abbreviations and/or substitutions) it would much probably have been cracked by now. I'd even go as far as saying that even among not-so-well-attested languages many (ie.: most Romance languages) would have been cracked.
