Is this what all the writing in the Voynich manuscript is then?

Reminds me of blazon, another image constructing DSL. I wonder if anyone collects and categorizes such little languages.





The Voynich manuscript is peculiar, because the plants depicted are familiar but clearly fake to the eyes of every botanist. To describe an imaginary a plant is easy. To describe a convincing imaginary plant is much harder and Voynich failed on that.

AI has exactly the same problem, when the program draws people without really understanding first what is a human. Seven fingers? not from this planet.
