It seems very strange to me that Stolfi keeps mentioning the Chinese language everywhere and making hints. It looks like obsession, to be honest. Excuse me 
I’ll jump into the conversation and explain why a cipher based on Roman numerals is noteworthy compared to other encryption systems as Naibbe.
Firstly, all the main “laws” of Voynich are self‑evident because they are a consequence of the rules of Roman numerals. LAAFU appears because the largest numbers will be at the beginning, and the smallest numbers at the end. The “slot” system is based on the fact that larger digits appear first in the number, followed by smaller ones. Similar words (such as chol chor) will appear because the numbers follow an order, which brings similar numbers closer together. Repetitions occur due to the presence of identical numbers in the sequence.
Roman numerals cover these rules by default.
Secondly, entropy and statistical indicators. Koen has already shown before me that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (even lower than that of VMS). From this, we can assume that Voynichese could be a more complex system of Roman numerals (where, for example, positional variants for writing numbers are introduced), which increase entropy but still do not reach the levels of a language.
