f17r

[Jorge_Stolfi]

At first, I also thought that the author was using Latin in the Voynich manuscript, but then I discovered the T ligature as an abbreviation for various Latin words and understood its function. That gave me the idea to interpret it as EL

Do you have a source for t = "el"?

That reading of oteeol is not convincing :

• The "abbreviation" ot would be longer than "oel".
  
• The ot would be an abbreviation of an abbreviation. 
  
• The Latin for "oil" is "oleum", not "oelum".
  
• The words "oel" and "viol" should not be run together.
  
• The "v" of "viol" should look like the "u" in the third word ("lucz")
  
• The final character looks more like r with spurious noise than l with spurious noise.
  
• The Latin "l" of "viol" should look like the chars which you read as "p" in the first two word. 
  

And anyway oteeor is a perfectly normal Voynichese word.  It occurs on f72r3 (the Zodiac page for Cancer), on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (a late Herbal page whose plant does not look like a viola at all),  on f102r1 (a Pharma page, ditto).  And oteeol occurs more than 15 times.  So that word can be read as Voynichese without invoking any abbreviations or abnormal spellings.

It is also significant that two of the words that do not appear to be retraced, and are invisible except in the ultraviolet images, look like Voynichese.

The reading of the other words as Latin is even more strained.  With that much liberty, one can read anything as a medical sentence in Latin...

All the best, --stolfi
