A member of the set can be repeatable in a folio, but two or more members shall not coexist within a folio.
If such set can be constructed, then we have Zodiac names in Voynichese.

Worse, if the 'encryption' method is verbose, this will not work at all.....
Finally, I am not that sure that any herbals from the same time frame mention one zodiac sign in each of their descriptions / recipes....

If the text of the large plants section is medical, and in any way follows the traditional four humors ideology, then it should should subscribe to the cross-pairing of pairs.
Traditional example in medieval medicine:
Temperature: hot or cold
Moisture: Wet or dry
Cross-paired pairs: hot & wet, hot & dry; cold & wet, cold & dry.
It needn't be a specific example, but as a general structure it would tend to indicate sense more than nonsense.
And it only takes four vords.
