Each of those have MULTIPLE other meanings that are context dependent (included in all of their definitions).
OK so can you list all possible meanings of the word chedy that you could possibly use? Or at least as many as you can?
That is the least one expects from a dictionary. Or from a proposed "solution" to the VMS.
And, again, could you please translate the following sentence (not from the VMS, I just made it up) into the dialect of Irish that you think the VMS Author used, and then show how he would write it with the Voynichese alphabet?
Tea of willow bark is good for stomach and liver ailments. Take one cup
daily for ten days. Willow grows in open fields and river banks.
Thank you.
All the best, --stolfi
I think I only posted the words but not the sentence last time, I'll arrange them now. But tea is mentioned when talking about the woodbine (honeysuckle) bud on 54r I was talking about in my first response to this question.

The two words with circles are uncertain.
"Sallow" or "Willow Bark", I'm not sure of in terms of the first character for "s" like that. And "good for" in terms of spelling.
