(For example, why assume that the first word is the plant name? Why assume SOV word order? Why assume that the word appears in a more or less neutral form, unaltered by grammar?)
I'm hoping to remedy this in my paper, but I'm stil ironing out the final bumps.

About the relevance of the first word in a page, he was explicit in his 2014 paper (A proposed partial decoding of the Voynich script):
p.11: "Characteristics of mediaeval herbals: ... the plant name is frequently the first word of the accompanying paragraph".
