Here is another curiosity that has people baffled, and I wondered myself. The little women in the bath.
In keeping with the concept that the authors of the Voynich were looking at, or at least aware of, the role of other realms and the working of the nature spirits, we may glean an insight into the baths.
This has to do with the two-dimensional objects we topologically call surfaces. The surface of a pond, has length and width with zero depth. The surface of a pond is between the water and the air. This is the principal behind water spirits arising out of lakes and streams. One might as well call the surface of a pond a window or doorway. Not to the bottom of the pond, rather between the airy and watery realms of folklore. Probably the alchemist's air and water too for that matter.
The analogy to understanding is Lewis Carroll's Through The Looking Glass.
There are fairy beings from folklore who are often called wood nymphs. They can appear as naked human looking girls with three pairs of wings. In a way, they are also dragonflies, and may shape-shift between the two. Looking into their countenance, one doesn't know if one is looking at the face of a dragonfly or the face of a human girl. As adorable as they are, one really needs to keep in mind they are also predators. When these girls skate above a pond with their nose down and their butt in the air, they are not looking at the bottom of the pond, they are looking into another realm. They can also shift between the two.
