On f68r2 there is a moon with a face near the top and a sun with a face near the bottom.
Both have circular texts around them. For the bottom one, there is one word, between 08:00 and 09:00, that does not look like Voynichese writing, but like cleartext. However, it is not all that easy to read.
Who can make anything of this?
EDIT: does it say 'sond' ? Could this be some dialect version of 'Sonne' (German for Sun)?
Here's what I see...
First part:
okey okoaiin okol o ky oeeeo r okey okeeo l c eeo (this last one should be joined but not so it looks like ch, rather it looks like long-cee followed by tight-cc) or it might be aeey or aeeo (the tail might be faded and the "a" is sometimes written without the bottom joined, sorry, I can't write half-spaces in this editor) then a or o and then
Mystery token:
s*na or f*na or s*ma, or s*ms, or sinia or fima or some combination of these.
- The first char looks like long-ess or long-eff.
- The second-one indecipherable UNLESS that emphasized dot on the end of the long-ess is actually the dot on an "i".
- Then something that looks like "m" or "n" (can't tell because of the blob) OR if it is an i with a long leading-serif, then it might even be "f*nia" or "s*nia". Note that the 116v text has "i" with a long-leading serif.
- Then double-story "a" or final-ess (final-ess often resembles double-story "a" in some scripts). It's too small to be "d" or the number 8.
I think the folio to the left of this one, with moon on the bottom, has ol 9° 9 on the bottom right, which would usually be a date (e.g., 1404, 9th of 9). Note how the tails of the 9 characters are curled. Some scribes specifically wrote numbers with more of a curled tail to distinguish them from "g" or the "9" abbreviation char.
Edit [addition]: I just realized something else. That second-last letter, if it is a Latin letter, could also be a hump-shaped "r". Many scribes used both kinds of "r".
