I believe that plurals were understood by recognizing that two or more nouns were referenced by a third noun. So, think of the difference between, "Alessandro, the son of Umberto," and "Fergus and Patrick, the sons of Michael." But this could also be cross referenced against ages on gravestones, which should always be in plural, "74 years." Of course, if there is more than one way or forming plurals then it gets harder. But given the length of the manuscript we should always have lots of examples to cross reference.
I'll answer the other part of your question later, as I certainly believe that we could (potentially) work out the grammar and meaning even were the language unknown. Though it would be an immense task.
