Voynich through Phonetic Irish

[Doireannjane]

How likely is it that I single handedly, without the help of any kind of AI, no advisor, no university, no funding, no help, not even a college degree, just a few years of studying translation in college and a year working on this that I found the taxonomy of most of the plants and roots by name? This seems particularly improbable from an academic's lens, I imagine. But that's the truth, everything is documented.

Do you have any confirmation for this claim from an expert botanist with some knowledge of medieval herbal MS tradition? I only see some vague resemblance between the plant photos you posted and the drawings in the manuscript, but I certainly cannot make this call or verify this, because I know very little about botany and how plants were usually depicted in the medieval manuscripts. Also, as I have written before, plants in the MS look chimeric and certainly include many unrealistic details (faces in the roots, animal shapes, etc). They could be overly schematic or even imaginary, and there are more than a hundred plants in the MS, if I'm not mistaken. There are not that many possible shapes and arrangements, so it's not surprising that it's possible to find some similarities to some real life plants. Especially if the process involves the same trial and error that you perform with the words.

These are identified and were initially identified with corresponding character and sounds. Not by searching plants. I didn't know of them previously. I have several herbalists, foragers and botanists following me and confirming in the comments of my Tiktok content. The images are absolutely unrealistic, they're magnified/close up.
