hi all :-) 

While not 'tighter', the lines on page f114r (see the 10-11 STAR 
(paragraph?) either ending 10 OR starting 11 right to left instead of 
left to right.... seems like an interesting start/stop "sentence".
 
Thoughts? 

My 'feel' is it is the end of #10 star verbage.

 This has only ever been a suggestion, not a definite claim. It seems
 to me that the redundant nature of the Voynich text implies that
 any underlying plaintext must have been shorter. I am interested
 in places in the MS where there is evidence of very cramped writing.
