During the last couple of months I have been playing with various attempts to match Voynich labels with the nearby text.
The “pharma” or “small-plants” section looked like a promising area: a lot of labels and not so much text. If the labels were mentioned in the text, they should be easy to find. It turns out that they are not easy to find.
I have searched the “pharma” section for labels matched in the corresponding paragraph. Out of more than 200 labels, I only found these close matches:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
As you can see, the second match depends on the hypothetical equivalence between k and t. The first match has the word split on two lines and with a different suffix. The other two are only split into two words.
Some of the results seem intriguing to me (in particular, the dol-dam blue mushroom), but they are too few to formulate any positive hypothesis. However strange, my basic experiment seems to suggest that the paragraphs do not usually mention the specific illustrated items. I guess one could try a different, more sophisticated, approach.
