Looking for something else, I found this.

First word in line 6 looks like VMs vords ending with "-in".
First word in line 16 is similar and the first letter in the second word appears similar to VMs "ch".

Other letters "a", "o", "q' and "'9" may be too common?

Good examples. I think the similarity of Voynichese to "regular" scribal practice is often underilluminated, like when we say it's written in an unknown script. Yes, the system as a whole appears novel and unattested elsewhere, but...

OT: I sometimes wonder if the administrator of e-codices notices when we are up to something again Smile

em̄ = enim

Note: it could have been written eꝫ̄ much like our mysterious cz̄ on f17r.

cū c̓cūstantiis aggͣuātibꝰ = cum circumstantiis aggrauantibus (with aggravating circumstances)

"Open" p and r, pointy a... handwriting is rather similar to f116v.

Note: letters v and b are very similar:
