Abstract: This article aims to give the clearest and most coherent presentation of many properties and oddities of the language underlying the glyph metastructure of the Voynich Manuscript. The key question here seems to be: what causes the high compression of the manuscript text, characterized by the low "2nd order entropy"? And, more specifically, if this is a property linked to the structure and morphology of a natural language or constructed language. Or, maybe, the compact character of the text has something to do with the way it was written (the alphabet, abjad, abugida, syllabary)? We have devoted over a year of systematic analytical work to study the characteristics of this medieval manuscript, posing a lot of difficult and enquiring questions in the process and searching for answers by coming up with counterexamples that enabled us to confirm and reject different working hypotheses.
