- Systematic morpheme composition
- Zipf's Law R²:  0.973 (STRONGLY LINGUISTIC)
- RULED OUT (High Confidence):

    • Random/Gibberish Text
    • Book Cipher
- The text exhibits NATURAL LANGUAGE properties throughout
- Word structure shows clear morphological rules
- Entropy patterns match natural language exactly
- Written in a SYLLABIC or LOGOGRAPHIC notation
- Numerical prefixes with semantic meaning
- All sections use the SAME encoding system
- Covering BOTANICAL/MEDICAL subject matter

I agree with all of these; they match my own analyses and evaluations.  Except that the Cosmo section may be astrological/astronomical rather than botanical/medical.  And that each "word" is a syllable, not each glyph.

- Latin-like patterns emerge from frequency-based substitution
- ABBREVIATED MEDIEVAL LATIN/ROMANCE TEXT
- Using systematic abbreviation conventions

- At least three grammatical cases
- Numerical prefixes with semantic meaning
- medieval Latin botanical terms written phonetically
- integrated with Arabic medicine and Neoplatonic philosophy.
I doubt very much that you have good evidence for any of these.  They are just guesses, aren't they?

All the best, --stolfi
