From "decryption" to "translation"

[Anton]

Yes, that's what I was writing back in 2015 of otol.

So otol appears to be a widely used notion, suitable for the following applications:

• serving as the name of some quite important celestial object;
  
• possibly also serving as morphological part of other star names;
  
• possibly serving for a certain generalization;
  
• serving for description (direct or by means of association) of a number of unidentified objects: anatomic/distillation (?), leaf/root of some plant (?);
  
• possibly serving as morphological part of description (direct or by means of association) of "personified" objects in the Zodiac pages.
  

What celestial body (Sun and Moon excluded) in what language could serve so many purposes at once? If a positive answer to this question is given, then that would be the confirmation of H5, let alone a huge advance in the Voynich research. If no valid candidates are discovered, it would be worthwile to re-consider H5 and look at some other system instead of "stars".

(Here "H5" stands for the hypothesis that star labels are star names).

One may call it "the otol test"

Researchers are exceedingly welcome to propose solutions to it.
