Hi Koen Gh.,
While I quite like the idea you develop on your blog of mnemonics being involved in the Voynich, I personally believe the "shape" of that leaf is due to the green paint job rather than the underlying drawing.
Unfortunately, we still don't know when this green paint layer was added, or even if the person who applied it understood the contents of the text. In any case, that person was rather sloppy in their application of paint, especially the contours. So personally, I don't place much faith in this green paint job as a source of useful information.
If you look at the drawing under the green paint, it is just like that of the other leaves.
