Yes, I saw that. And we can toss in all the globus cuciger and non-cruciger images that represent the world in the many religious images, which are represented in various ways, as discussed previously.
This appears to be an era of ideological syncretism and conflation. Any three-part thing is a thing with three parts, so there is going to be some sort of mystical connection. It's pretty much BS, but that was the way they thought, and that's the way we need to try to see things, if we want to understand what is being represented in the illustrations and get a chance at understanding the language.
While I not especially hopeful of a linguistic solution, I've been around too long, there are too many pages missing from the VMs, and I know it's not my forte. If there is a chance, it is finding a connection between the illustrations and the language. I've made that suggestion.
Finding hidden images should spur us on to look for other hidden information. However, we are only picking up on these interpretations slowly over time. The artist had the whole thing from the start. If there is a message, perhaps the message is hidden. And the clues to find it are also disguised. But if that message is to be found by later investigations. Then the clues must be something that has a lasting, cultural presence, that is known to the intended recipients. Religion and religious tradition may seem to be the best option. The artist goes with what s/he knows.
