Enough with pareidolia, let's try a bit of good old paranoia.
Here is again the E half of the big green pool at the bottom of f82r. This time let's ignore the things that may be hidden by the green paint, and focus on what is outside it.
Here is what I see with my Ordinary Voynichologist Paranoia:
The blue tub's outline (A1) seems original. Why does the second outline (A2) stop at that point? How come the wall (A3) of the tub extends below the floor?
The outline of the big green pool at (B1) does not seem to want to meet his buddy (B2) across the blue tub and pipe.
The upright pipe of Miss okairady has a left outline that extends down at least to (C1). Why is there no outline on the other side, at (C2)? Why is the area (C3) at right of the tube, clearly inside the big green pool, not painted green?
What is the line at (D1)? The outline of a fat arm? And the stroke (D2)?
The shoulder line of Miss olaiin must be the line that extends from the outline of her neck. Then what are strokes (E1,E2,E3,E4)?
And, speaking of Miss olaiin, is (F1) her breast, or her thoracic third fourth eye, with swollen eyelid below and angry eyebrow above?
Three theories for the double trace (G1,G2): (a) there are actually two nymphs in that tub, (b) the nymph is actually a cut-out, part of the place's decoration © the Author was not happy and told the Scribe to make her plumper, (d) the Scribe had a glass too many and was seeing double.
Speaking of which, the right arm (H1) of that nymph is in a very strange and strained position. Could it be that it was added by a (ahem!) Retracer who did not notice the actual arm (H2), and mistook the hand (H3) for er... something else?
Lapsing into pareidolia mode again for a moment: could (J1) be the original outline of of the right arm of Miss dolol, and (J2) be her hand?
People have been assuming that the green stuff inside the big pool is water. But the Cutout Nymph at the NW corner is sitting inside a hole (K1) that was cut out neatly from that stuff. Proving that it is not water, but rather stiff lime jelly. And it is only a thin layer of jelly smeared on the floor, since the hole leads to a well-lit space under the floor.
Why did the Painter leave (L1) and (L2) unpainted? Just to show us how sloppy he was?
Actually the big green "pool" must be a giant nymph-eating amoeba, since it reproduces by budding, as seen at (M1).
