The word "chol" is particularly interesting here. After my substitution, this results in "m.i.t", which I assigned to the Middle High German term "missetât". According to voynichese.com, it is one of the most common words in the manuscript, with over 800 occurrences, which already suggests a central meaning in terms of content. In my previous translations, I have now been able to assign this word in about 35 places. Especially the repeated use in plausible contexts gives me an increasingly good feeling for the resilience of this assignment.

The following statement therefore results for the relevant section:

The girl is incorrigible and exaggerates her behavior. She proves this by "misstep after misstep after misstep", which finally ignites the man's anger.

I understand how you translate chol, but I'm interested in the translation of the whole line in each case. It's not very hard to point to any individual word and assign a translation, the question is whether this translation makes sense in the whole context. I'm not in a hurry, so whenever you can provide the translations for a few (let's say 4-5) lines from my post I'll be happy to check them out. For example, for the line above I will also need to know what is okcholksh, cthaiin and dain and how you translate the whole line into the modern German or English.
