Of course, historical transcribers made different assumptions about these cases as well.

First of all, I think it is useful to call a label only those individual words (or short texts) that are clearly near a drawing element. A label should be 'attached' to something. There are plenty of individual words that are not near anything identifiable.
So, there are (e.g.) zodiac labels, plant part labels, container labels, nymph labels, but also 'tube' labels.
All these are indicated in the transcription files.
In the bottom part of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. there are three words that might just be nymph labels, but indeed one cannot be sure.

Another tricky case was the top of f34r, where the lines don't match up.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. also has something interesting going on in the top lines, right margin.

There really are not a lot of labels in the Voynich, there mainly little quirps of information. Loved your post as I have not tried to translate the bath pages much, so I had to look at the letter anomaly on page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. that you were talking about and found something quite interesting. The letters are an after thought or warning, to stay away from the poppy seed being discussed for healing relief.  Letters on the side translate to "plunder not in" You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. I only did the first 5 lines on the right side of the illustration.
