A Possible Reading of "rapa (turnip)" on f102v2
#4
Could the Voynich scribe have used a Greek letter : "π" in 
     ράπα ?
Greek word:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.([b]βλ.[/b] και λ. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)] exists in Greek Dictionary, overtaken from Latin.

Additional evidence : above the word there is a deleted anotation which reads something like "rettih" or rettis" .....This is the German "rettich" word for turnip. Maybe a later reader/user understood the word as radish and attempted to clarify it.
