Rosettes foldout: cardinal directions?

[Mark Knowles]

It is to some extent a question of probabilities and I think one can use this to ask what is the likelihood of a specific kind of T/O map being the correct one.

Normally, I would agree with you 100%.
In this book? Dunno.
Still, I fully agree that these labels in the T-O should be an obvious crib into the text. Trouble is, I've spent years on and off worrying at that T-O map, and never found a single damned thing worth telling anyone about.
I wish you more luck than I've had.

If EVA-asal is "Asia" that is hardly enough to decipher Voynichese. In my opinion, given my perspective, a few words is not nearly enough for a useful crib. I wonder if, in an unusual way, for that particular word the mapping/spelling is particularly simple whereas for many other words the structure of a "verbose" cipher is more prevalent such as we see with words beginning with EVA-o.

I can understand you well. I have one here too. But I have no idea what it means.

But is that a T/O map, as it not just a circle, but also has the cross extended?
