However, @Jorge_Stolfi, there is reason to believe that this may not have been written by the co-author of the manuscript:
The letter a is written in a different way than in VMS (in addition to the fact that it is compressed on f116v, it is written as if in one stroke, although it requires two strokes to make the e and i parts).
The Sh is also different - the "legs" are quite low, and the second leg comes from the middle of the line, although it should come from the end.
The other letters also look quite strange when compared to other Voynichese letters. Perhaps the author didn't know how to write those letters, so he just drew them awkwardly.
