I should add that I have also been trying to read the text in unconventional ways — reversed, slightly tilted, and from both the right and left sides.
I must say that some symbols appear different to my eyes under these conditions, although I am not drawing any conclusions from this at this stage.
I have also noticed that the “8” shape and the “9” or “6” and some other glyphs appear slightly inclined relative to other characters. -

From the latest conference by Lisa F. D., you can hear her say that in the images with the nude women there are female anatomical structures.
Today (without telling her anything) I showed one of those images to my mom, and she immediately said, in record time: “But that is a uterus!!”
What do you think about this?
Thanks. -

I think the fact that some illustrations in the VMS, especially those in the balneological section, clearly depict, at least allegorically, aspects of the human body/anatomy is not a coincidence. However, this is something well known and observed since the very first time the black-and-white scans of the VMS were published decades ago. The point is that we cannot deduce anything from the text based on this information, or at least no one has ever managed to get anything concrete out of it... unfortunately.

I experimented with convex lenses and a physical VMS copy in the past, but I didn’t notice anything like this. Could you please show some examples?

Furthermore, is there a reason why you refuse to use a somewhat known transcription model (EVA, EVA-T, v101 etc...?) It's difficult to understand what glyphs you're referring to when reading your posts (see "otto ani"). -

One image is folio 77r. -

I have been saying for years that Quire 13 is about pregnancy but I don't see a uterus on f77r. That is the page where I see the 5 Classical Greek Elements at the top. I do interpret the nymphs in much of Quire 13 as building or helping to build the body of the unborn child as well as the changes to the body of the mother during pregnancy. They need the Elements as components for the construction of the bodies. -

I recognize that the nude women are probably figurative and that most of the images with tubes are symbolic.
I agree with you that the women are drawn with pronounced bellies, therefore suggesting pregnancy.
In this sense, I agree with you, but I do not agree regarding the question of the Greek elements. -

Continuing my analysis, I’m abandoning my theory about the “circles of professions” and aligning with Lisa F.D., indicating the symbols in the circles as zodiac signs. Some are duplicated, like Taurus and Aries, and some are missing. There is a lizard that doesn’t fit. What do you all think?

I think Scorpio looks like a Crocodile. Actually, my first impulse was to call it an Alligator but alligators are American.
It looks like what should have been You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. were cut from the book. We can only assume that they were Capricorn and Aquarius but that is only an assumption. Since we don't have them, they could have been anything. Maybe the people who made the Voynich Manuscript didn't need to go beyond Sagittarius with their zodiac. -
