Word EVA okaldy
The word okaldy appears 10 times in the text, not counting the three occurrences of okal,dy.
Three nymphs bear it as a label:
one on the inner ring of labels on the Gemini page (<f72r2.27,&Lz> <!03:30>),
another on the outer band of labels on the Leo page <f72v3.18,&Lz> <!09:00>,
and the third is one of the gymnast-nymphs on page 82r.

This word can be read as o(a)nal(i)89:

• αναλδης – not thriving, feeble; barren;
  
• αναλθης – not to be healed, not healing, powerless to heal, deadly, inflicting incurable wounds;
  
• αναλτος – not to be filled, insatiate; not salted;
  
• ἀναιδής – shameless, of Agamemnon; ruthless; of things, the stone of Sisyphus is called λᾶας ἀναιδής the reckless, ruthless stone; Adv. ἀναιδῶς;
  
• ἄναιτος = ἄνᾱτος – unharmed; not harming, harmless; immune from punishment.
  

In the absence of other clues, it is difficult to make a valid choice.

P.S. The nymph on the Leo page has only one leg; I don’t know if this is a unique case, but in any case, it’s not common.
