What I find puzzling about the whole of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is that it is clearly grounded in medieval practice and reality (the crosses, "maria", N, even the -ix -ix -ix formula) but still we can't make sense of it. Most interpretations require "bad German" or an uncontrolled mixture of rare dialectical forms, or a hodgepodge of various languages..
However, it should not be regarded as bad German, but as Alemanic. ( southern German speaking area. )
Today's German as we write it is something different.
Germanic, northern language area, ..., Alemanic, southern language area. High German spelling is the same for everyone. ( official language ).
The German text has maybe 2, 3 spelling mistakes from today's point of view ( nim, nimm ), but compared to other books around 1400, same dialect, absolutely justifiable.
If one sees the VM text as a curse, then even the context in Alemanic is correct.
You do not have to interpret it as wrong, you have to be able to read it correctly.
If the curse is wrong, ( it takes me too ). Goat's milk won't help there either.
Man muss es nicht als falsch interprtieren, man muss es richtig lesen können.
Wenn der Fluch falsch ist,( so nimmt es mich auch ). Da hilft auch keine Ziegenmilch.
