It could be, although it would be more convincing if you showed some examples of the abbreviation of Radix with this glyph in books of herbs or any kind, not only astronomical ones.

Because the problem is that if we agree that most of the Voynich glyphs are derived from Latin letters and abbreviations, the consequence is that  the scribe reused them and gave them a new function. If they kept their Latin meaning, long ago that the VM would not be a mystery. 

Therefore, the question is what is this new function and where did the scribe get the inspiration to design some of the glyphs, especially the gallows.

The only thing I say is that the gallows may have been born from the abbreviation of Radix in the codex of astronomical tables, because the VM is in part (I think that above all) an astronomical codex and gallows are also the 'Radix' or starting point of the paragraphs.
