Voynich through Phonetic Irish

[rikforto]

I was thinking about po as tea, and whatever reservations I have about how you arrive at that phonetic reading, there's also an etymological problem. Now, I don't have a dated etymology for Irish, though I do have it on You are not allowed to view links.

In that vein do have a date for its arrival in You are not allowed to view links.

So I guess my question is: Can you account for this? Does your theory have a date for the manuscript? A period of Irish we should be looking at?
