why?
Perhaps my recollection is mistaken, but I had recalled reading years ago that handwriting experts had studied the manuscript text and concluded that it had been written from left to right. Now I suppose the cipher could have been simply to write every word backward, so that when written left to right by hand, it spelled out the actual words of the underlying language right to left. Yes, that is possible. But the particular label vords that attracted my attention for their resemblance to Arabic words would have been both written and spelled left to right.
