Anton,
I'm an agnostic about the script. I realise that some of its glyphs resemble the Latin alphabet and others resemble standard abbreviations used in Latin. Others have pointed out similarities to abbreviations used in Greek. Other glyphs - in fact all, I think, find parallels in scripts derived from the Aramaic script.
But I'm fascinated to read Helmut's comment that the glyphs which resemble Latin abbreviations appear in the same relative positions in Voynich 'words'. I should have thought that if the text were enciphered that structural thing would have been less obvious, obscured by the cipher, or that because it was enciphered the abbreviation "9" would be represented by some other glyph. No wonder the text drives the cryptanalysts crazy!
