Obviously as I have said what's going in the large slice differs between the f68v3 and the rosettes. In the rosettes case I think it says Asia (EVA-asal) and in the f68v3 I think, in keeping with T/O maps that I have seen, it likely contains a list of locations in Asia.
In the "Africa" quadrant they look different from what I can see, though it is possible that the EVA-k is an EVA-t as it is not quite clear what the author was trying to do on the rosettes page.
I take your point about the original being hard to read and we have the author's imprecision and time to thank for that. Still I think higher resolution could help to distinguish the penstrokes and stroke directions.
I have suggested that the first 4 glyphs in both instances are EVA-opee though JKP has said we might have EVA-opch in one instances. The question then becomes what the frequency of words starting this way is. If very common >1/5 then I really can't conclude very much. If it is much less then it becomes of interest. EVA-opee seems to be very rare. Whilst EVA-opch does not seem so rare.
Even though my analysis of other labels leads me to believe that it is likely there are a number of null words I am pretty confident these are both T/O maps
and I am pretty familiar with what is written in T/O maps. On the rosettes folio there is much less space in the T/O so it would make sense for longer words to be abbreviated. So I was wondering if we had the same word for "Europa", but in one instance abbreviated to say "Eur".
