RE: Daiin and aiin, to be read separately or as part of a word? - Helmut Winkler - 25-04-2022
I have posted this before and I do it again now, even if it is not likely to have any effect
daiin and aiin are not daiin and aiin, but d'aui and aui with a florish each as an abbr. stroke and means "dicit Auicenna" and "Avienna". It is so common an abbr. that even Cappelli has it,who has not many medical abbr.
Whih by the way is good evidence that we have a plaintext in Latin and explains e.g. the many repetitions

Have you published your Latin translation results?

... can we predict what the words before or after these aui and daui mean?
I think we can say what chapters he is quoting and possibly some other authors and texts he is quoting as well
Have you published your Latin translation results?
No. my results are too full of holes yet, but I am thinking of putting up a blog or web site in the near future

P.S. To start a blog it takes 15 min

It is not a question of the time you need to start a blog, it is more that I am not as cocksure of my results as some other people are of theirs

Register or Login to view.Perhaps you should consider that such signs were already used in old books.Do you mean that those signs were known when the ms was written? Even if it is the case it doesnt mean than they were used with the same meaning, they could be used to decive the readers.
See, for example, the NSA report.
The best thing, however, will be for you to read through the various comments here at Ninja.
I have read the various comments here at Ninja, any idea can serve as inspiration for another idea.

No, I have been thinking about these possibile solution for years, as a matter of fact since I have seen the ms. the first time and I would not talk about it all if I was not reasonably sure that there is something in it, but there are possibilities to be tried out, which takes time and I mean this in s literal sense

Before trying to understand words I try to understand how the code was built.
