Thoughts on the possibility of proper names on page f1r:

After reading the full article on your block, I tried to analyze the word  transliterated with EVA  ydaraishy with Slovenian alphabet and language. The Slovenian transliteration and transcription is the same, except that y should be separated, because it represents the verb je (y with dropped semivowel), which means 'he is'. 


DARAISHY is equivalent to English past participle 'gift-giving', 'while he was giving gift'. The suffixes-shy  and chy is  no longer used in Slovenian language, but they were very common in the Middle Ages. 


In the early Slovenian, like in Croatian, it was a common practice up until the invention of printing presses, to use the so-called 'word block'. This linguistic term is explained in an article by Croatian linguist DenisCrnković who defines the 'word block ' as one or more unaccented words (preposition, conjunctions or other particles attached to a stressed host word.  
Many Voynich Manuscript words show this linguistic phenomena, particularly words that start with EVA y, k, ch, d.  

Crnkovic's article also explains another feature of the early Slovenian/Croatian writing, which contemporary linguists have termed 'isocolic writing'. This linguistic term was formed by the eminent Slavicist, Ricchardo Picchio. He defines the isocolon as a medieval Slavic prose 'line' or phrase with a constant number of stresses, although the number of syllables usually varies. The isocolic  lines may be written in different patterns. This style was particularly used in rhetorical speaking.  Often, such isocola were separated by a longer space, to guide the performer's reading. The isocolic structures consist of parallel lines of equal or alternate number of stress units, which can be a single word, or a combination of words with only one stress. Neither the number of syllables nor the number of words affect the numeration of isocolic 'stresses'.

Assuming that the text in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is written in this style, the rights-justified word actually belongs to the end of the line and is stressed. This writing style explains some long and short spaces in the Voynich Manuscript, as well as some word repetitions.
