New analysis of f116v, Central Bavarian dialect

[monisusa]

Since the word “Poxleber” was found in an Austrian sermon, I believe it’s highly likely that the marginal notes are Bavarian.

However, reading “mchiton” as “anchiton” has already been discussed; yet interpreting it as “anchiton” = a c hi ton = “an zeh hin tun” and “oladabas” = “als a bas(in)” = “alles ein basin”- in short, “an zeh hin tun alles ein basin” (a toe do in, everything a basin) - requires a high degree of eisegesis. Especially since this sentence doesn’t make any sense at all without heavy interpretation (eisegesis), and other “interpretations” also seem rather far-fetched to me - since they require a high degree of interpretation. Another example: atzia = atzen (to etch) or: mo vix  mo = mollire "erweichen" (melt)  und VIX = V/X Mintutes = 5 / 10 Minutes.

Especially turning the Voynichese into Latin abbreviations - difficult....

I, for one, am not convinced. But of course, that doesn’t mean anything ;

Hi, thanks for your comment. It was common to write medical terms in Latin. The author wrote a short, quick note probably for an assistant.  "atzia" has the meaning of let the substance rest or stir slightly until it gets thickly. A common expression in producing ointments. An c hi ton = an Zeh hi ton = standard German "an Zeh hin tun". It is not far fetched but very logical in a recipe.
