  Is there a possibility that the open-bottom "a's" are actually "v's"?
  Here's a comparison of some of the a, v, and x shapes from the Voynich Manuscript.

  I think it's possible that v is some kind of an alternative form of a, but given that v is an extremely rare character, which I think appears only once in the main text, it's very hard to make any argument for this. I don't think the way it appears in the main text on f3r is compatible with a, I wouldn't expect aor there, maybe lor, chor or dor.
  
  There is only one other instance I can find in the transliteration where a word starts with aor, and it's aora? from f99r, but if you look it up in the MS, this doesn't really look like aor either, more like oarar or oaran.
