I think I have extracted all the speculation that I can extract from the illustrations. I have started playing with the text. I used pages You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. through You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. . Those are the 15 (out of 16) pages from Quire 1 that have one plant on each page. I think most people agree with the assumption that the text on each of those pages is most likely related to the plant on each of those pages so that probably narrows the topic of the text to as much of an agreed upon topic as we can currently get.
I used the following data.
# H: Takeshi Takahashi's full transcription (see f0.K).
I got a total word count of 1296 for the text from these 15 pages.
168 ( 12.96% ) end in "iin" (iin) but if I remove "daiin" then the numbers drop to 119 ( 9.18% ). In my opinion, that is still a high number.
25 ( 1.93% ) end in "ain" ( ain ).
What are the current thoughts for why almost 13% (or 9%) of the words end in "iin"? Is this some kind of artifact of the encryption process? Or is "iin" some kind of verb suffix like "-ing" and "-ed" in English "growing" and "curled"?
