The Voynich elephant

[Anton]

Anton, I argue that those labels do refer to the plant name in the first place, but also approach the name of the mnemonic image. The mnemonics are just that: a trick to remember this difficult foreign plant name.

Actually it would be easier if they did not refer to the plant name. E.g. consider Fig. 1 You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. otol is one of "Voynich stars", it is also a plant label, and it is also encountered in some other contexts. Too many for a plant's name, isn't it?
