Although a century later than the Voynich, it is still curious that some astronomical tables use a similar glyph such as the slash. These are the Prussian tables of Erasmus Reinhold, which replaced the Alfonsine tables.

Here you can see a page from an edition of the Prussian tables with the slash to indicate parts of the circle of the elliptic. Interestingly, the slash is also repeated like the Voynich glyph.
On this page of the Prussian tables, the use of the slash to indicate parts of the ecliptic is more clearly seen.

The interesting thing, as with the similar VM glyph, is the fact that the line is inclined and not vertical. Obviously, what is intended to be represented is a portion in a circle, hence the tilt.

This is a 16th century astronomical book, but there are many medieval Volvelles with the same slash marking the degrees of the sphere.

I'm not sure what you mean. I think you mean the one underlined in red.
By the way in blue. You can see the ending ‘um’ sometimes also ‘tum’. In terms of frequency, you can equate it with EVA ‘y’ (9). Which you can also prove.
9 = um or us.
That already contradicts your theory.
Follow the breadcrumbs, or the red thread.
I'm sorry you don't understand what I mean. I don't think it's that complicated. The slash in an astronomical symbol. That's all.
