The Voynich MS was written in ANCIENT Hebrew, there is only ancient Hebrew in the transliteration of the translation; because it is Old Hebrew.
This is the Compass Rose, and you read it just as you would a Compass Rose....North is written as "ottez", South is located directly under North and is written, "da"; East is written, "ade"; and West is written, "ora". True story.
I know where this map came from and I know where it leads to. Because I can read this document.
These transliterations are not close to the ancient Hebrew words for the cardinal points: qedem (qof dalet mem), teman, yam (yod mem), and tsaphon/tsafon.
If this is Hebrew, why are you reading the characters as Latin?
Also, the majority of medieval maps positioned east to the top (you apparently didn't know that either).
