This is my first answer on this beautiful platform

Oh why thank you   A worthy first post



So it is probably -m. It is interesting that this is one of those "end of line" characters, and here it pops up at the end of a line of marginalia. The writer seems to have been very well informed.

Thank you very much! 

Yes, you seem to be right. Although it could theoretically also be that the author of the sentence on page 17r simply copied the Voynichese words from other pages. This would not require a great deal of general knowledge about Voynichese. According to Voynichese.com, "aim" occurs 52 times. On the last page 116v, the scribe could easily have copied the two Voynichese words "aror Sheey" from page 104r, where both words are written one after the other.

The senseless copying of the words is possible, but I wonder why this should have been done. Perhaps this would have been the case if the Voynich manuscript was not based on a meaningful text and the attempt had been made to make the book appear authentic. If this were really the case, the author would not necessarily have had to copy, as he knows his method for generating text. Otherwise, it seems logical that the author of the sentences in Latin script could understand Voynichese. Was it because he was the/an author of the Voynich manuscript, or a later initiated reader?

Personally, I can well imagine (without knowing it, of course) that the writer of the sentences on pages 17r, maybe 66r and 116v is the same person. In my opinion, this person could also be the draughtsman of the drawings, if not the author of the entire manuscript. I think this not only because the same Voynichese used words, but also because the drawings on page 116v seems to me to be quite identical to all the others. 

Best regards again!
