A new hypothesis: The Voynich Manuscript as a Slavic-based macaronic mixed language

[BadBigX]

Hi all — thanks again for the honest feedback.
You are right: I mixed up enthusiasm with proper verification. I was so excited about the idea that I posted it too quickly, without doing the necessary base checks folio by folio. That’s on me.

• f1r is of course a text-only page (no plant drawing). I wrongly treated it as herbal.
  
• “saral” is rare and occurs largely outside the herbal section. I retract that as a candidate marker.
  
• Several other word–folio assignments I gave are not supported either.
  

To be clear: I’m not presenting a solution. This was meant as a feasibility idea. If the morphemes do correlate with plant parts, that must show up in per-folio frequencies, not anecdotes. I skipped that basic check, because I was simply carried away by enthusiasm.
My plan now:

1. Use the Takahashi EVA transcription / Interlinear Archive to extract per-folio counts for my candidate words (
   otal*
   ,
   okar*
   ,
   okal*
   , etc.).
   
2. Verify the folio categories (root/leaf/flower/mixed) by actual illustrations, not from memory.
   
3. Publish a small table with those counts. If there is no correlation, I’ll drop the idea.
   

Thanks for holding the standards high. I’ll either return with data, or I’ll let go of the hypothesis.
