when talking about alphabet, today in the morning I looked at
http://130.132.81.124/PHOTONEGIMG/zoom/Z361/z3610581.jpg
(this page has the number 99 in the corner upper right).

The lowest plant, where both the root and stalk are crawling
has a clear label in Voynichese. In context of this label,
when we read the first letter as "P", we get "Polsasy".

In many Slavic dialects - if you write, what you hear - this
is just what this plant seems to be, or "crawling".

PS
In context of VMS, I do not like to speak about languages. If its
not a cipher, it could easily be some dialect from time of intensive
assimilation of different languages; probably in the system 
(mentioned above) "what-you-hear-is-what-you-get" (on paper).
