The pool at the bottom of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (Bio) also has a nebuly edge, which departs from its supposed meaning of "cloud". However, that discrepancy may be spurious, because that edge [theory censored to protect allergic researchers].
A nebuly line also appears as the edge of the "galaxy core" on page f68v3. That part of the diagram is incongruous since the stars say it is sky, while the double outline says it is a sunken pool of water. And neither would be a cloud. However, that discrepancy too may be spurious, because, there too, [theory censored to protect allergic researchers].
