As far as I'm concerned, there is no linguistic evidence so far. While the labels appear meaningful in some technical sense, I have no plausible mapping between any of the labels and any words in any language.
From the way my investigation goes so far, it seems likely the cipher (if there is a cipher) does scramble/reorder natural language letter sequences, so it could be hard or impossible to map pieces of cipher-text to pieces of plaintext by visual similarity. It's still likely that longer plaintext words produce longer cipher-text labels on average, but not necessarily for any particular pair of words.
