I am starting to wonder whether the text is not descriptive at all.
What if it functions as a referencing system rather than narrative language?
The only place where we clearly see a written label directly attached to a specific object is the cup on f102v, where a word appears above and a number below.
If that is a functional code, then perhaps many of the repeated “words” throughout the manuscript are not sentences, but internal markers referring to destination, usage, category, or preparation context.
In that case, the manuscript would not be meant to be “read” in a linguistic sense, but navigated operationally.
