"The [Voynich] language is an agglutinative, phonetic form of defective Hebrew, and also uses some Greek words like yaya for grandmother."

I don't agree that the Latin "-ris" shape (EVA-m) resembles Hebrew thav. It's completely different. Even if you mirror it, it's not similar.
I also don't agree that the minims look like shin. I've looked at many many Hebrew manuscripts and I've never seen shin written like "ain".
I also don't think VMS "a" looks like samekh. Even if you mirror it, it isn't really the same.
I don't think the long-cee looks anything like yod.
The figure-8 letter (EVA-d) doesn't look like the sample, either. It has a long straight stem. And normally this letter does not have a loop (and when it does, it's usually more triangular, like the old Phoenician letters).
What the shapes represent is another issue, but as for shape similarities, I don't find them particularly similar.
Ignoring shapes for a moment, and just looking at the glyph dynamics, the author has equated Hebrew gimel to EVA-y (9 shape) but it seems unlikely that gimel would occur so frequently at the ends of words, sometimes at the beginning, but almost never anywhere else in a word.
This is gimel: ג and some words with gimel where the letter is within the word:
בגדים אגוז מלך מגבת אנגלית אגודל
It's essentially a substitution code with subjective interpretation for individual "alchemical" glyphs.
