Here are the first 26 lines of folio page f75r, the first page of the biological section and of quire 13. This passage runs the length of the first long vertical illustration of bathing women on the page. It constitutes more than half of the text on page You are not allowed to view links.

I still think it "reads" fairly well as natural language-like text with a typical West Slavic phonological structure. It is worth noting a couple details about a couple specific vords/words:
[qokeey] / [qokedy] / [qokeedy] are <né#> / <nec#> / <néc#> in the Slavic VCI reading. These forms very closely resemble the words for "not" and "no" in West Slavic languages. Thus, the repetition of this vord, such as [qokeedy qokeedy qokeedy], would simply read <néc# néc# néc#> and would simply mean "no! no! no!"
You will notice that <nas> / <nás> / <ns> occurs frequently in the half page of text above. "nas" is the Slavic word meaning "us". It occurs frequently and repetitively in such traditional texts as the Lord's Prayer and similar litanies in Slavic languages. Certain lines above such as <rz rjéc# ns rjec# ns> <bo jal ral z#> and <Pie# trje# né# nas> <rrje# ns jec# nás> have such an appearance upon first examination.
In light of the illustrations in this section of the ms, it is curious to note that the very first vord of the text, <tiec#>, may possibly be read as a form of the West Slavic verb "téci", "téct" (Czech) or "ćec" (Upper Sorbian), meaning "to flow".
