My own theory is that that voynichese is a writing system, one wich uses a
"logic" unknown to us. As such no amount of cryptography can possibly
"crack" it. So my own invistigaton (preceding from the *assumptuion*) that
it is a writing system is to unlock how that writing system works; eg I
think the repeated words are not cryptographic nulls but integral to the
orthography as either puncutualtion or grammer (eg a thrice repeated word
could simply be a plural form. Doubles could be comas, stops, or starts;
sets of repeats could be isolating clauses). Likewise I think each letter
has more than one purpose depending upon word possition. In Labels I'm
convinced that "o" is a grammatical type marker, but a phoneme or phonemes
within the body text.
Knowing how the system works will not in itself decipher it, but may provide
a key for doing so.

Your (above) mentioned KEY is easily exposed in just a FOLDED piece of
paper (or old vellum if you like), any way,... EACH LETTER ~does have
More than ONE~ (1) purpose. The _lower case(s)_ point (directing to
where) it's the current character, the GALLOWS allow a change KEY PAGE
of (8x8)... so one can continue to "DeCoDe IT" (lower case stay STATIC
on this/or ANY KEY PAGE)..
No need for comma's, stops, or starts... however, the iii's and ccc's
and all the mixes i, ii, iii, & c, cc, ccc can ~appear confusing~ THAT
WAS THE POINT of the author... one simnply should follow the ~flow~
of its construction (THAT being of a simple FOLDED PIECE of
parchment!)
Hope that helps
