Register or Login to view.Since we're talking about page 99r, I'd like to share a discovery on that page (I haven't seen this information anywhere) and announce a future blog, which I promise to publish on March 1st, titled "Some conclusions drawn from twelve years of studying the Voynich manuscript." There will be a lot of new (possibly controversial) content!
The top container, according to the original plan, was supposed to be three-tiered.
I don't believe those to be faded markings meant for the container. It just seems to be the form (or deforming) of the parchment. You can see more lines to the right of it, too.

Yes, if the paint has marked the page, what I am seeing at the top of the page is actually the lack of a mark, instead of the mark itself. At the bottom of the page, I see a clear darker mark (which was the catalyst to check in the first place, actually)
As to exactly how plausible it all is I leave to others here
