Anton, does that scan also show the stuff that is scuffed and scraped under the Voynichese on the left?
Yes, it's quite possible it's upward rather than downward (ascension, resurrection, or returning to the beginning). In charms, some of which I have examples that I'll post, the alpha and omega are not always at the beginning and end of the charm. Frequently they are mentioned within a charm. Alpha and omega tends to especially show up in divinations, spells cast by people who want something (or want to know something).

Taking this reading, then we see the orb (personification of the scribe?) being born up to Maria, with the inserted cross afterwards.
