geoffreycaveney's Middle English theory
#49
First of all, thank you JKP and Rene for the critical feedback. I appreciate it very much. An echo chamber is worse than a star chamber. Right or wrong, I need to know what people think. Thank you. 

Let me make this next post in the form of an open question / challenge:

As I mentioned in the post about Edward, 2nd Duke of York, above, I am working on reading You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. . Now that is for several reasons. It is Dialect A (more English?), and it is substantial text, and it is not in the Herbal or Pharmaceutical sections. 

Also, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has a striking three-word phrase centered below the 1st (long!) paragraph:

EVA transcription:
[ okar  sheey  shekealy ]

By the way, I detected a possible additional subtlety to the Voynich ms cipher here:
Is it possible that [ke] = "tt" ?

Because if so, then the following reading is possible and logical:

reading according to my provisional letter correspondences:
" o/utir  theeK  the[tt?]isK "

my interpretation of this line:
" outir-geth ʒesitteth "

translation of this line:
" having completely conquered, he occupies a seat of authority "


outir- (Middle English) hyphenated form of outreli - "outwardly. superficially; publicly; openly, candidly; forthrightly, unashamedly; utterly, completely, quite; solely, exclusively; to be sure, certainly; positively, absolutely; without fail, without question; with verbs denoting intending, purposing, promising: firmly, assuredly, faithfully; diligently; actually, in fact; precisely, exactly; in negative clauses: at all, to any extent, in any way"

"theeK"
backwards reading:
"Keeth"
geth (Middle English) - alt. past participle (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..) form of geten - "acquire, earn, buy, win, receive, find; obtain; gain; suffer; have (one's will); receive (one's sight); hear (a tale); catch, seize, get hold of; conquer; capture; take prisoner; win (a victory)", and many more meanings of "get", etc.

"the[tt?]isK"
backwards reading:
"Ksi[tt?]eth"
ʒesitteth "he occupies a seat of authority"
isitten (Middle English) - (alt. sp. Also (early) ʒesitte, ʒesittan) "to occupy a seat of authority"

archaic form deliberately chosen to have the final letter in the word as written be the same as the final letter in the word "YORK"

Ok, let me stop here and post this phrase, and then I will post the challenge word (the one I cannot read and interpret) in the next post.
