One case supports the interchangeability idea: tshor (f15r=Sonchus, f53v=Hieracium) are both Asteraceae, latex-producing composites that a pharmacist would use as substitutes.
Two pairs are on adjacent folios (cho on f42r/v, podaiin on f54r/f55r), possibly variant preparations of related plants.
The other two (pchor, kooiin) show no obvious botanical link, though the plant identifications themselves are contested. Honestly, cho (2 chars) is probably a functional word appearing by coincidence as a folio opener, not a real plant code.
I tested phonetic mappings, co-occurrence, positional alignment, EM optimization, constraint propagation, all failed.
This one held.
