What makes them specifically Beneventan? Could you provide a simple side by side image of the glyphs from VMS and the corresponding Beneventan glyphs?

One of the things that would supposedly set Beneventan apart is the use of the 3-shape for an omitted m/n, but like Nablator says, these are pretty universal.
Some letterforms are unique to Beneventan, but I don't see them offering any additional explanations.

Ok, I can do this myself. Here they are. I'd call this "remarkably similar", but the wavy line in the Voynich MS is written differently. If this is the best match, then I won't say this is conclusive.
But even if it is, and this weirdo symbol is based on that Beneventan glyph, this won't help much, I'm afraid. The scribe was familiar with Beneventan, so what?

Of course, if anyone is interested in following this up, it is their choice...

I do not think it was accidentally depicted in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. .
