There are no illustrations.
The p chars are longer than usual but not overly embellished.
The f is very uncommon compared to the other "gallows" characters.
The rare char x appears on this folio.
Paragraph 5 has to curve down to avoid hitting the short line above. It looks like the scribe forgot there was a short line on the right and started the next paragraph too high.


The text consists of eight short "paragraphs" (blocks of text separated by a slightly larger space and an elongated p at the beginning).

  • Six of these paragraphs have short lines that are left- or middle-justified.
  • One of the short lines is right-justified.
  • N.B.: All of the left-justified and mid-justified short lines end with y.
  • N.B.: Of the 28 longest lines, 14 end with m... (50%) except one of those "long" lines is a bit shorter than the others and actually has g instead of m (9th from bottom). In languages that use Latin abbreviations, the g and m chars have two different meanings (I don't know if this is the case in Voynichese but it's interesting that the scribe chose a variant character for the not-quite-as-long line).

In other words, the presence of certain characters may be related to the length and position of lines. Note that the short line that is right-justified has the same m ending as many of the long lines.
