Of interest to me is the fact that the "string/cord" connections in the VMS are between Pisces and Stars, not fish to fish?

A good point. Also, do the strings between the fish and the stars have the same meaning as the strings between the stars and nymphs?

I bet that one day we will find a manuscript from that time with a drawing of the Pisces constellation where the string between the two fish is interrupted by two stars (alpha and eta?).
And so our brave Scribe thought that the part of the string between the two stars was irrelevant, and what mattered was only that each fish was connected to a star...
