This is becoming a principle discussion about substitution-or-cipher;
maybe a bit deviating in @BessAgritianins thread.
Fact is, that nearly all european languages use a form of ropa/repa/rübe/reps/rapa/ruope/nabo etc. for "turnip" (which turns the english version to one of the exceptions).
Bess`s Go for this label meaning something like "turnip", accordingly to the related image, is completely ok and understandable, as this would cover a lot of languages. Even though I am not convinced about her specific target language.
But the relevant question is:
Did the artist really "explain" his drawing with that added Vord in his language, or is this just any other possible attribute and meaning?
Voynichese looks rather non-explaining.
And when talking about "low number of characters": what is the number of characters exactly?
