When two people do the same thing, it is never quite the same.
Wenn zwei das selbe tun ist es dennoch nie das gleiche.
But it also depends on which sources they may have “copied” from and what they considered important in doing so.
One of my theories is that aiin could correspond to “alii,” among other things (!). (The L would then be the same size as the other letters, as was often the case).
Alii is the most common word in some old recipe books because all possible names for a plant are mentioned in the name descriptions. And there, at the beginning of each new word, it says “alii” (=other)
And the page you show is one of the reasons why I came up with this idea.
Now let's imagine that the writers copied from two different sources, and suddenly you have a “completely different language.”There are recipe texts that use greatly abbreviated language and focus only on the essentials, and other texts that are written in a more elaborate style and therefore contain many plant names in other languages.
This would also explain the different writers. One was tasked with copying some plants or contents from one book, the other from another book.
And ur page would then be a good indication of that.
