Words EVA okaram and okairy
After the ofchdamy and oklairdy nymphs on page 72r2 come the nymphs with the okaram (3) and okairy (2) labels.
I read the word okaram as onarar…, considering the m as an abbreviation.
This word can be ἀναιρέτης – destroyer, murderer; in astrology, Anareta, a planet cutting short human life.
This nymph has no breasts; is it a man or an old woman?
I read the label okairy as onairos, which may be the Greek word ὄνειρος – dream; as proper noun, dream personified; in similes or metaphors, of anything unreal or fleeting.
Since the glyph r in this word is similar to s, we can also read onaisos for ὄνησις – use, profit, advantage.
And finally we can read o as a, which would give, for example, ἀναιρεῖς, 2nd present of ἀναίρω – raise, lift up.
Which of these three possibilities would best suit our diagram: the personified Dream, the rising of our star-nymph, or profit/advantage?
The nymph in question appears to be dancing, her left leg placed behind her, while her neighbors have their left legs forward.
Is this an important clue?
