That sinuous lines with swollen knobs you're referring to also signifies the sphere of the fixed stars, the limit of the medieval universe.
I have argued many times, and will continue to argue, that those hundreds of female figures are a personification of the fixed stars.
I agree on no bio, I do not agree on fixed stars in either case (knobs nor nymphs)
To me they represent populations of people who have congregated in regions over time, most heavily where fresh water was abundently available, hence, i call them nymphs.
Insofar as fixed stars, I believe they are important to these populations, but as they are already seemingly represented as stars in the manuscript, I don't see the need for the knobs or nymphs to also represent them. You could possibly convince me the nymphs were representations of the plants the fixed stars were supposed to be influencing (if i understand your theory correctly), since nowhere else does this influence seem to be outlined that i have been able to detect. I would include populations of other lifeforms in my own analogy, ie agriculture, farming. However I do not see the influence of the stars involved in my own understanding, merely that the stars are useful for navigation between regions, or denoting time differences between places or events.
