So maybe the Author wrote "toxic" in one and used '☠" in the other.
Or maybe he sorted all plants into harmless ones that can be consumed regularly (Herbal-A) and plants that should be consumed only when needed (Herbal-B), some of them being particularly ☠.
So they wrote about toxic and non-toxic plants in a completely different language? And i take it then that the rosettes is mostly about poisonous things? Come on you are smarter than that.

Do you think this is script evolution, i.e. it represents a stable (probably natural) language that was being represented differently, or language evolution, i.e. a conlang that was changing
I would also be interested in your opinion on this Rafal!
