In a previous post, I suggested that the glyph (o)—which begins the sequence repeated four times on f57v—might represent a degree on a 360º sphere. A strong indication that this could be the case is the fact that we see nine o's (ooooooooo) in the outermost circle of the diagram on f70r1. This circle is completed with dots—a more convenient way for the scribe to represent a long sequence of 'o's. The other glyphs we see are simply substitutes for o's.
I have already sufficiently explained how the numbers 4 and 8 in the You are not allowed to view links.

My experience with the Voynich script is that once you let go of the preconception that the glyphs must be letters—the urge to see a language there at all costs—the glyphs take on a different meaning when viewed in relation to the illustrations.
In the sequence on f57v, it does not matter that 17 glyphs are repeated (there could be more or fewer, provided the total is an odd number, as the glyph that ends up in the middle—in this case, the ninth one—is significant). This glyph, which occupies the middle position in the first two quadrants, is the (f) in Eva; however, it is the only one that changes within the sequence, as it appears as the (p) in Eva in the subsequent two quadrants.
To me, these two glyphs that mark the axis of the circle represent the axis of the lunar nodes, which are always opposite each other. The (f) is the *cauda draconis* (dragon’s tail), and the (p) is the *caput* (dragon’s head).
