  Could small vord filler be a sign for meaningless text near plants?  Look at the center of f36r.  This text looks forced to me.  What kind of a test method could we come up with to find out if I'm right?

  This has also been noted on a few other pages. For instance f26r. Were all those small words really necessary around the fork of the plant stems? It seems that the author was just blindly filling empty space with bogus words.

  What makes it meaningless? Words can be seen split by the stem in other herbals too. 
  
  For example: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

  Yes, it is suspicious. When there is very little space like between the plant stems or leaves then there is always a short word which perfectly fits that space.
  See also for example f29v.

  iirc,  MarcoP and EMS did something about glyphs and text intrusions.
  
  I made a quick pass (not thorough) of words that occur between text-intrusion markers ('<->')in EVA ZL3-n transliteration.
  Excluded are any texts from  Start-of-line (SOL) to marker  and text from  marker to End-of-line (EOL).
  As attachment.

  I have not worked my way through this list entirely but some noteworthy things.
  <->sals<->    **all words between markers are single occurrences
  <->sky<->
  <->saro<->
  <->ydey<->
  <->ytorory<->
  <->chkeeod<->
  <->odaiil<->
  <->ykoda<->
  <->ykeeb<->
  <->chshy<->
  
  yk  --almost all are '.yk,' or 'yk['  and 1 standalone
  sy  --almost always at EOL or before a text intrusion
  olk  --rare
  dchd --rare
  
  I was thinking if they were filler words then those words may be only found between text intrusions but there are only a few of those.
  
  You could make a complete collection of these words find what word comes before or after and see if there is a difference between normal text and text-intrusion text.
  
  EVA-'sy' is quite interesting because  of where it occurs
  sy before markers  9
  sy between markers  5
  sy as eol    19
  sy in normal text  4
