Sequential word repetitions in the VMS

[MarcoP]

No No, I'm thinking of an encryption similar to Trithemius "Hale Mary-Cypher"! 
The letters of the alphabet generate different words (perhaps combinations of two words?) during encryption.
This means that a "Voynich-word" could result in the individual letter "C" when decrypted. Three times then just "CCC"...!?

Yes, in a cipher like that CCC could result in something like 'daiin.daiin.daiin", thought I'd expect the repetition would instead be obscured by selecting different words for the three occurrences of C.
Another interesting feature of Voynichese is that consecutive words with an edit-distance of 1 are even more frequent than consecutive identical words (about 2% vs 1% IIRC).
What do we make of sequences like these?

qokeedy.qokeedy.qokedy.qokedy.qokeedy
qokeedy.qotedy.qokeedy.qokeedy.qokeey
otedy.okedy.okedy.qokedy
qokeedy.qokeeey.qokeeody
okeedy.qokedy.qokeedy

These patterns are considerably more frequent than in a randomly scrambled version of the text: there must be something that causes similar words to prefer occurring consecutively.
