Thanks for the response! I certainly agree with you here. The author(s) may have felt that "blue" didn't need to be mentioned for every blue plant. What we are left with is a somewhat arbitrary trail that makes candidates less trustworthy. I'm glad you are also attempting this, and I wish you success! The Parento principle with the stars is interesting by the way.
Thanks. And that is interesting. I'm sure the word for "leaf", "medicinal", "woman", etc. can also be found with more analysis too.

I have seen your post on the VMs subreddit and submitted a short comment there, in the same line as Anton. Point B is specially important: we cannot be sure about what colours, if any, the author/authors had in mind when they wrote the text.
However, there has to be a word in voynichese for "figure": The author needs a way to point to illustrations ("As we can see in this figure..." "This figure depicts..."), unless one believes that the text and illustratios are not related at all.
I had this thought after discussing the Tratado de Astrologia (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) in a previous thread. In this MS the author uses the world figure (spanish figura) extensively when there are illustrations in the page.
Might be a very "broad" term to look for, though. But in the same line of your method. Maybe more experienced researches can provide more useful feedback to you.
