Here are some more words containing the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.: pchodaiin, pchodain, pchodal, pchodar, pchodol and pchody.
The good news - the majority of these words come from the word φως.
The bad news - the word φως has several meanings.
A new example of reading aiin as part of the word, ignoring the space: on page 112v pchodain.aiin can be read as You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. for φωτεινων, gen. pl. of φωτεινος - bright.
I keep looking for words ending in -ain, to see if they can transcribe the infinitives of verbs, but a doubt assails me about their number.
I don't know the total number of words in Q13 and Q20, the 1600 infinitives, isn't that too many?
Searching the text for words ending in -ain and the conjugation of the verbs I believe to be associated with it, I learned that there is also the ending -oun for verbs, including infinitives. This ending can, in my opinion, be transcribed in voynichese as -oiin. It is certainly worth examining this kind of words to see if they can correspond to verbs.
Another discovery (for me, of course, not for those who had the chance to learn ancient Greek), the ending -an, designates the infinitive of certain verbs.
As I told you, I have my doubts, but  this book could be useful to you

Thank you very much, Helmut!
I'll have a look through the pages to see if there are any things that don't exist in LSJ.
I started reading on the net about Greek participles, the topic, apparently, is so vast that I wonder if it is possible to define an clue for our manuscript.
My ideas about Zeus (of Dodona), sain/saiin for Ζην/Ζευν got a shock from the verbs sain/saiin/saiiin - You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

I decided to add the words You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. to my search: if it's a conjugated verb, it will speed it up a bit.
