*Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary* says for
etymology of
"OK or okay" (abbr. of oll korrect, alter. of all
correct) (1839)

... so it's from modern English, not Native American,
and
1839 is decidedly post-Voynich - except for the
Communist Plot theory, which
says it's in Russian glossalalia anyway.  ;-)
