[Mark Knowles]

Something weird (or maybe not weird at all) is going at f70v2 (Pisces zodiac sign)

For me it is a very strong case for autocitation hypothesis suggested by Torsten Timm. The scribe is altering the same word and making a gibberish.

It such a case attempts to identify the star (like Alrescha from Pisces constellation) will be futile.

Would you have another explanations?

There are lots of strong cases for the autocitation hypothesis and I think many words were generated in that kind of way. However, from my perspective and where I think I differ from Torsten Timm's is that I don't think all words were or can be generated in such a way. To repeat my position, I think many null filler words were generated in such all way(though some were just produced from standard null word templates), but real words were not produced like this.

Ah, I missed it.

But how would you explain that otalam  also seems to be a name of some plant root?

Does the supposed numeral also means carrot, parsley or horseradish?

I agree with you. The numeral theory could work in one or two cases, but overall the idea that these represent numerals doesn't seem to hold up. I conclude as I have in the past that some words must be null or meaningless.
