If the cardinal points are on the diamond, I think it would more likely be qedem (qof dalet mem), teman, yam (yod mem), and tsaphon/tsafon (without the grammatical ending).
But I'm still not completely sure which diamond is meant. If it's the one I posted above (the one above the bottom-left rosette), then these don't match up well with the existing chars regardless of whether they are read left-to-right or right-to-left. Three of the "labels" begin or end with the same glyph and I'm not willing to accept an anagrammed Hebrew translation unless there is HUGE justification and proof for it because Hebrew is an abjad and anagramming could turn it into almost anything.
The Voynich MS is written ANCIENT Hebrew. The alphabet is located in the circle of Folio 57v. and again on Folio 66r. You have to read the word in ancient Hebrew. You show 2 pictures.......the bottom picture is the Compass Rose directional notations. The Bottom picture.
