Ruby, I looked up the names of the plants I recognized from the pictures, but I did not find any names as the first word in the text, so I decided to concentrate on the grammar and on transcribing and translating the words I could recognize. Besides, some plants have up to ten and more Slovenian names, and perhaps as many in other languages. I am working on the grammar and vocabulary and so far, I have seen the pattern of Slovenian grammar - the prefixes, such as PO (EVA-quo) and -O, which are Slovenian prefixes, as well as prepositions, therefore they can be written together with the word or separately. But then, again, they could also be Latin prefixes, so there must be other ways to check. The suffixes are very revealing, because they can visually indicate which text is written in the first person singular (endings -am, im, em), or imperative mood (endings dy and Y (Slovenian i or j (since y is no longer used).
A few years ago I had downloaded a book about the Plants in Carniola with all different names, but it was just a second part and I have no title and no way of knowing where I got it. If you are searching for the names, this would be a good book for you. I will see if I can find it again so I can send you the link.
