(afaik "Okey" is a word of American Indians)
*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.
