It's fascinating that the VM labels behave quite well according to what we'd expect of labels. 

I agree, but...
Something that doesn't fit the nice picture (I don't think this has been mentioned in this thread yet):
Many of the labels that occur more than once appear to refer to different things.


The most frequent repeating single-word labels:

otaly occurs 8 times as a label: 5 times as zodiac-nymph; once as a "bio" "stream"; twice as "pharma" small-plants.

otedy occurs 6 times: twice each as zodiac-nymph, "bio" pool/tube and "bio" nymph

oky occurs 6 times: 3 zodiac-nymphs; once at the center of the bottom-righ Rosettes (but this could be a short text crammed inside the picture); twice as "pharma" small-plants

okal occurs 6 times: as a red moon in f67r2; 4 zodiac-nymphs; once as a bathing-nymph or "pine-cone"

I attach the results of my search for repeating single-word labels. This was based on the transcription file by Zandbergen-Landini.
