Matching “pharma” / “small plants” labels in context

[MarcoP]

[edited on the basis of Anton's comments - see next post]
This second table presents 9 couples of items.

1. okary – Two very similar roots with identical labels. What is strange is that they both appear in the same paragraph (being the first and the last items of the top row).

2. okolo / okolyd – The match is of course tentative, since the suffixes differ. Even if the label in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is closer to the plant on the right than to the container, the layout of the other labels in this row suggest that the label really refers to the container. This suggest that okolo and okolyd really are unrelated words.

3. orar / orar.am – The match is again tentative, but in this case the second label is made of two words, the first matching the label of the first item. This are two sketches of whole plants that appear to be quite different.

4. osaro / osary. Suffixes differ. The first item is a plant, the second a bulbous root.

5. otaldy. Identical labels and different items. As suggested by Anton [see the following post], it seems less problematic to associate the label in 88r with the plant on its right, rather than with the container on the right. Anyway, the two plants in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and f101v2 look quite different.

6. otoky. Identical labels and vaguely similar items: two leafless, airy, roughly conical roots.

7. otor.am / otoram. Also this couple is made up of quite different items: a root and a container. Again, it is possible that the label in 88v refers to the plant rather than the container (the label is closer to the plant), but it seems easier to assume that in this case otor-am and otoram denote two different things.

8. saiino / saiiny. Suffixes differ. The two illustrations are vaguely comparable: two leafless, elongated roots. The one in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. bifurcates.

9. salo / salol. This couple appears in the same row of items as the two okary roots discussed at point (1). Once again, the similarity is only partial.


You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., Wladimir D observes that similar items in the pharma section do not have similar labels. He also writes:

Together with this there is the word otoldy (11-1 cases in the text,? F82v? You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ). Which is used four times as a label in the "leaves and roots" section, and the plants are not alike.
....
These two items can be explained if the label is the name of the ingredient from the plant near which the label stands.

[Wladimir seems to be interpreting all the four occurrences of otoldy as referring to plants, while I believe the one in f89r2 refers to a jar].

[What follows is irrelevant. See Anton's comment 
In general, I find particularly puzzling the fact that similar labels often refer to both plants and jars. If I understand correctly what Wladimir wrote, his idea is that the label denotes a substance (that can be "contained" in a plant or a jar). If so, this could be a possible explanation for the use of the same label for plants and jars.
In any case, the shared labels between plants and containers seem to me an interesting and difficult to explain phenomenon.
