Which of these words is most prevalent in the VMs? Which page or passage from the VMs has the greatest concentration of words from your list? Does that result somehow inform VMs investigation? Are the VMs plant pages examples of botanical monographs or not? What's going on with potential historical and religious references in the VMs artistry?
If the written text was intended to make sense, it needs to say something that can be understood by the reader.
In answer to your question and to many others, I would like to point out that I am working on the system how to make non-Slavic readers understood the Voynich Manuscript from the multidisciplinary, as well as from the linguistic perspective, and how that relates to Slovenian language. There is no single grammar book that would explain the linguistic changes, most of the books and scholarly articles are in Slovenian, or Croatian. To prepare the grammar explanation, the material has to be translated and organized. I will organize them by the changes they require, and that takes time, by the word families, and by the frequencies.
I am working with a list of words that also includes photo-copies of each individual VM word, and I can tell you the word DAM (EVA daiin) is most common word. I showed some examples in my previous post, but there is a lot more to explain, particular the use of that word family in different pages.
In my opinion, the text by the VM plants is related more to the symbolic use of plants than to their description. To properly interpret the text, which might be related to some property of a plant and its symbolic meaning, one has to have a lot of knowledge about the humanistic writing, symbols used by humanistic writers and the objectives they intended to achieve with hidden meanings. It also requires a lot of linguistic knowledge. For example: the word 'flower', was used for superlative quality of poetry, philosophy, alcohol, flour, medicine.
Because of the complexity of the explanation, I will use my step-by-step system that would be easiest to understand by the readers. Be patient and you will find many answers.
