But today with the assistance of programmable computers we can see something of the way it was done.

Well, I can see the prefix-suffix decomposition too, and more.  But what it tells me is the exact opposite of gibberish and obfuscation.  

My conclusion is that the Author invented the script in order to make the contents more accessible to Europeans.  

But the script was just the first obstacle, which was easily overcome; the language itself was (and is) a much more formidable barrier...

All the best, --stolfi

Yes you’re definitely on the right track Stolfi! I’ve been writing and talking in great detail about accessibility being a driving factor. To quote my free Substack from weeks ago: “… A humanist and medical framework. A communal exchange of knowledge, of seeds” and to loosely quote the text itself (from my translation through modern Irish) “cross-linkage capable of cluster”

I describe the language and words to be weighted or compressed (even in base language), like a file. Gibberish is such a sad way to look at something with so much meaning and thought. Economy of vellum space and effectiveness of language was far more important than speed/efficiency, I think although it probably played a role more so with one of the scribes.
