Usually I write a blog post before posting, but I'm too excited to get this into the world - here's a sneak preview image of my latest post, in which I post my translation of 116v - a recipe for arthritis. 

I have an ending 8 as "m" in three of the words, but an interior 8 as "s" in one. I also have an ending 9 as the suffix -us. 
I also solved two of the voynichese words as 'articulorum', abbreviated, meaning "for the joints" and coctus / coccus, meaning "cooked / rendered". The last word is not goat's milk, is gal'mich / galamich for calamine, but I believe the goat image is a reference to the tallow. 

poxleber un[d] ? pu tpfen
anrichten olla sebum un[d] oleum te tuo
coquere por tam n six mal iq 
movieren wichs habiat magna usque ad articulorum 
coccus wolsh u[nd] brey so nim galamich

goat's liver and for tropfen
prepare tallow and oil in your pot with (tea / herbs / or pitch?)
cook or boil it, only so much, pay attention (or leave overnight?) 
six times the same as (not sure about this part, but I think x just means abbreviated in this word and mov) 
stir in the binding agent, you should have a large amount for the joints rendered
[use] wool cloth [with this] paste, then take calamine.


I know my congugations are not correct, it's a work in progress and you can help. 

The recipe is close to one of Hildegard's, which she calls tropfen, for arthritis. I'll update more when I write more. 

What do you think? I appreciate all suggestions and improvements, and would love more discussion. 

All the best,
