116v

[Stefan Wirtz_2]

Hi! [..] I fully anticipate that people will disagree with me as this seems pretty different from some of the current theories on 116v I've since read, but I'd be happy just to have others engage with the ideas

Hi.
Nice blog posting.
I personally prefer to not do anything about f116v, since I see it as a collection of different characters, alphabet and language(s) scribbled into page much later than main text, which is not helpful at all.

But if you want to read this last line (minus the leading 2 Voynichese words) as something in German, I would take the 8 here (and just here!) as a „d“ or „k“.
„Palken“ would be interesting, but I consider a usage as „d“ here:

„palden phrey so nim gar mich.“   — „bald frei so nimm doch mich.“
= soon free so just take me.

(„gas“ does not work, I understand it as an overdone „r“ —> „gar“) But there are too few letters even to decide it clearly as german text line.

Would understand this as a nasty comment coined to the VMS nude lady at the very beginning of that line… as said: I don‘t find the f 116v very helpful.

Is it possible to add any medieval font to the font selection here? Might be best for such discussions.
