I have written here before that the author made the SAZAK tree drawing without showing the leaves. Apparently, the author drew the SESAME capsule as a cross-section or with the outer shell/membrane cleaned. Because probably the author wanted to show the sesame seeds/grains found in this part of the plant. As I mentioned before, the author adds/crosses various plants from various places. Moreover, he probably drew them not by looking, but by what he remembered from his memory. You remember that I explained the possible reason for this.
On the f.14-v page, the word SUSAM (SESAME) is made in two places. In one of them, the word SUSAM (SESAME) is used in a short three-word sentence. However, while the author was writing this word (SUSAM), she/he wrote the first syllable of the word separately from the whole (such as SU SAM). Actually, we know the reason why the author did this. The author must have wanted his articles to be especially difficult to read. Numerous examples of this have been noted by us throughout the VM texts. (We have already explained the reasons why the author writes in a way that makes the texts difficult to read.) The author writes by dividing some words and shortening some words to make the texts difficult to read.

Also, the first letter of the first word of this page is a compound alphabet character. This compound letter is pronounced as İYC. Today, we pronounce this word as İÇ in Turkey Turkish. The word İÇ has many meanings. The English equivalent of one of them is the word CORE.

You know that punctuation marks are not used throughout the VM manuscript. In other words, there are no dot marks at the end of sentences or commas between words. But for someone who reads the VM words, it can be understood where the sentences end and the other begins. Also, some of the paragraphs are written in a poetry-like form. Today, in many cases, we do not use punctuation marks that indicate the end of sentences in paragraphs written in the form of poetry. We predict that in the future linguists will be able to tell which literary genre these paragraphs belong to.
Thus, the sentence we read here is "UCU SESAME ÇİÇEĞİ".
The suffixes -U at the end of the word UC-U and -İ at the end of the word ÇİÇEY-İ are the suffixes that point to the object. Therefore, this sentence can be translated into English as follows: "The tip-part of it (plant) is the sesame flower." )
The root of the word UÇU is the word UÇ-. In some dialects of the Turkish language, this is also pronounced in the UC form. You can see the meaning of the word (tip, end) at this link: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
If you look at the spelling of this word UC in the dictionary, it shows that it can also be used in the form UÇ there: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
The author wrote the word ÇİÇEYİ in the form ÇÇYU. Today, although it is said that this word should be written in the form of ÇİÇEĞİ as a spelling rule in modern Turkish, it is still a common situation to be pronounced and written in the form of ÇİÇEYİ among the people. In addition to this, there are different pronunciations of this word in different dialects of the Turkish language. You can see some of them in the links of the following dictionary pages. Such as You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. etc.
It is also known that the word was written in the form of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
In this sentence, the author used this word as an abbreviation and in the form of ÇÇYÜ. The sound -U/-Ü/-I/-İ at the end is chosen according to the vowel harmony of the word and this is the suffix that points to the object as a word suffix. We have detected in many words read in the VM manuscript that the suffix used by the author 600 years ago in the form of -U/-Ü has changed to -I/-İ sound in today's modern Turkish.

In fact, the abbreviations made by the author and the splitting of words do not create a great reading difficulty for careful readers who know the language well. For example, if we give an exaggerated example in English, I think you can read these sentences;
"theauthor was made en cod ing in vm texts tomade the coded part of the te xts can not be se en easily just like thesame reason that she developed this vm alphbt"
As you can see, you also noticed that I do not use punctuation at the end of the sentences too. Although it is a somewhat confusing way of writing, I think when you look carefully, you can understand where the sentence should end.
Note: In this example sentence we have given, I have made the examples of splitting and joining words in a slightly exaggerated way. The author does not do these with similar intensity to my example. The author did this with less intensity and in certain sentences compared to my example. She/He wrote many sentences in the normal way without breaking the words. The author has made such corrections throughout the writing where he thinks it is necessary, but not in every sentence. The sentences manipulated by the author in this way are read in Turkish in at least two different ways, and they are written in a way that each reading style gains a different meaning. It may be more useful to understand the detail I am trying to write here if we find examples that better express what the author has done in English.
