I hoped that multispectral images might provide evidence towards the missing descenders in the last line, but actually they (at least as published in Nick's blog) did not, to my opinion. So, ceteris paribus, I'd suspect v/u there, and not p.
When discussing the last line, the two important things to remember are:
1) part of the last line is not in Voynichese, apparently for a reason - as if translation from German to Voynichese was a tedious process, so the scribe was lazy to encrypt the whole line.
2) the "so nim gasmich" begins with "so", so it is basically stipulated by what is written before "so". It is not simply "nim gasmich", but it is "so nim gasmich".
As I suggested earlier, I strongly suspect aror sheey to be either a quantitative characteristic (in which case aror is likely a numeral) or a modus operandi (in which case sheey may designate some part of the body).
