(The outermost panel is about 1/3 the width of a normal # one.) # # Attributes: # # Language: ? (Currier) # Hand: ? (Currier) # Subsets: Z (Rene), zod (Stolfi) # Subject: zodiac # Colors: ??? (Reeds) # # Description: # # [To be checked and completed] # # Three concentric rings of text, deimited by six faint mechanically # drawn circles. The outer and inner rings have wider word gaps # at 08:45. (The middle ring crosses a fold at that point). # # In the centre is an animal resembling a lioness, facing west. The # animal has a very short and sparse mane, and a long tail ending in # a tuft of hair. The tail curved down, between or behind the rear # legs, then up behind body, and then forward. The right front paw # is lifted and points West. The animal has a muzzle similar to that # of the nibbling animal in f???, and is showing a longish, narrow, # pointed tongue. # # Below the lion is a non-Voynichese word, possibly "augst" in # lowercase Latin letters. There may be a dot over the first leg of # the "u". The "s" looks like an uncrossed "f" with a straight # descender. The "t" looks like an EVA "c". # # The three rings of text define two bands containing human figures # (12 in the inner band, 18 in the outer one), all naked, in 3/4 # view (between frontal and facing clockwise). Each figure holds a # star with the left hand. The right hand is generally on the hip. # # All the figures are naked. Most have visible breasts and # shoulder-long hair. # # Clockwise from each figure there is a short label. # # Comments: # # The animal at the center is probably a lion, the astrological # symbol for Leo. Leo is ??? to ???. # ## {} # outer ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-28 00:31:06 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from wider gap at 08:45 # soees.otchs.otedar.oteody.oteodal.oteos.ote*k**{fold}.*eody.sheokay.sheody.shedy keyl.eteody!s.okoleeolar.okeey.shedy.otey.sho.shol.teody.okol*{fold}**.yklede*y. okechly.olaiin.shokche**.{fold}!lol.chopchey.teey.teoda.cher.okecheay.otechol.ch sor.cheey.daein.o!yteiedar.chr{fold}.!!!cthy.otycheedy.oteeol!y.chokory- !doar.otchs.otedar.oteody.oteodal.oteos.ot***{fold}!!!**ody.**okeey.sheody.shedy keal.cheody,r.okoleeolar.okeey.shedy.okey,sho.shol.teody.okol*{fold}!!.*keed*!y. okechdy.olaiin.shokee!dy.{fold}chol.chopchey.teey,teody.ch*r.okechedy.otcheal.ch eor.cheey.da**n.o,yte!edar.***{fold}.sh*cthy.otycheedy.oteeoldy.chokory-{gap} # ## {} # Labels on stars, Leo, outer ring # Last edited on 1998-12-09 19:28:30 by stolfi # # Numbers by John Grove # # Weirdos: # # &ol = above ? # # transcribed clockwise from 10:00 # ok*olo{fold}= okealy{fold}={Grove's #1} okeal*{fold}= # ogeom= osham={Grove's #2} o**am= # oreeey= orchey={Grove's #3} orchey= # # star with tail okam= ykam={Grove's #4} ykam= # # star with tail okey= okey={Grove's #5} okey= # oteeeody= otcheody={Grove's #6, star with tail} otcheody={star with tail} # okyeeshy= okyeeshy={Grove's #7} okyeeshy= # **!!!!!!!ofaiin= ol*{&ol}.ofaiin={Grove's #8} **y!!!!!.ofaiin= # okoly= okaly={Grove's #9} okaly= # otoly= otaly={Grove's #10} otoly= # ofalals= ofalals={Grove's #11, star with tail} ofalals={star with tail} # reeeos.ocfhey= sheeos.ocfhey={Grove's #12} sheeas.ocfhey= # # no breasts daiin.chcpy= daiin.chefy={Grove's #13, male?} daiin.chepy= # oteey.dchyr= oteey.deeyl={Grove's #14} oteey.deey*= # # no breasts cheolpy= cheal!!={Grove's #15, male?} cheal**= # okeeol= okeeol={Grove's #16} okeeol= # okaly= okaly={Grove's #17} okaly= # okaldy= okaldy={Grove's #18} okaldy= # ## {} # middle ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-09 19:24:09 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from wider gap(?) at 08:45 # !!!!!!!!!!shos.{fold}otchy.!**eody.cheokey.okeoekol.oteos.aiin.yal.eeedy.okeos.a ly.shy.oka!y.okeeey.okeedal!y.cholairy.oke!!.chees!y.okeeol.chey.otey.aldy.chdy. del.ok*eoloky.oty.aiin.cheis.otoly{fold}.ok****.etoteear- *t***.***.!***.{fold}***!!.**eeody.cheokeo.okeoekal.oteor,aiin.yol,eeedy.okeos,a ly!shy.okeey.okeeey.okeedal,y.cholairy.okedy.chees,y.okeeol.chey.okey,aldy.chdy, dal.oksholoky.oty.aiin.cha!s.oteey{fold}.**!!!*.*t**!*.*- # ## {} # Labels on stars, Leo, inner ring # Last edited on 1998-12-09 19:28:50 by stolfi # # Numbers by John Grove # Transcribed clockwise from 10:30 # otoly.yty= otaly.yty={Grove's #1, coloured star} # sholeey= sholeey={Grove's #2, star with tail} # oky= oky={Grove's #3} # chcthhy= chcth!y={Grove's #4} # loly= laly={Grove's #5} # oeemy= oeedy={Grove's #6} # odair.an= odair.an={Grove's #7, decorative crown} # okary= okary={Grove's #8, star with tail} # oecs.aiin= o*cs!aiin={Grove's #9} # oteesod= oteesed={Grove's #10, star with tail} # epal= of*l={Grove's #11} # otaly= ot*ly={Grove's #12} # ## {} # inner ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-09 19:24:29 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from wider gap(?) at 08:45 # okes!err.or.cskesol.okeol.yiin.cholal.ykeso!darar.oleeo.dy.shedy.soear.aldy.oteo r.cheor- okos,chr,or,chkeeol.okeol!aiin.cholal.ykeeo,darar.oleeo!dy.shedy.solar,aldy.oteo r,cheor- #
