If those streaks on f0v are not just coincidences, here is a possible explanation. When Voynich applied chemicals to f1r, some of them went through the wormholes and pooled at some places on the bottom of f1v. He then turned the folio over and mopped that spill. As he did that, he dragged the blotting paper or cloth downwards. The chemicals dissolved some of the ink from the tendrils of the root. The motion of the blotter carried that lose ink past the bottom edge of folio f1, depositing some of it on f0v.
There are in fact additional coincidences between You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and 0v. There is a fuzzy dark streak with NW-SE orientation in the bottom left corner of f1v, adjacent to the wormholes; and that streak continues past the bottom edge of folio f1, onto page f0v. Thare are one or two similar examples near the middle of the root area.
