Classical astrology in the text of the Voynich zodiac?

Ohh so you mean like in hieroglyphs.  They had this class of glyphs that did that. For them it was necessary to come up with a system like that, since it would exponentially decrease the amount of required glyphs. 

Okay, that is a possibility, and even though at the moment I am not totally convinced, I know that some of the more serious researchers entertain similar ideas.

It is definitely an idea worth pursuing, and it would fit Voynichese.

If this is consistently done throughout the manuscript though - a stacking of concepts on top of lexical words - shouldn't we.expect more variation in those lexical words as well?
