I guess it's similar to English "four letter words", which are also forbidden in many public contexts.

The difference here appears to be that a few words appear very often in a variety of forms. This may give rise to repetition patterns as we see them in Voynichese.

Think English f*ck and derivations: fcking, fcker, fcked, fck off and so on. I don't know what the extent of variety is in Russian.
