If you break the words down, you can do a lot with them—but is that really correct???? As long as u can’t find evidence in medieval texts to support ur theory, it remains just a theory.
Example: aladabaz
Alada is the plant: "hellebore" in Old High German / Middle High German
“baz” means “better” (later bazzer, the comparative form of “wol” = good)
olada baz = better hellebore
There are two varieties of hellebore:
“elleborus niger” = the potent one, the “better” one therapeutically
“elleborus albus” = milder, less drastic
“alada baz” would then be the “better” one, although ‘alada’ already stands for the “niger” variety on its own.
But have I found evidence for this? No....
so : diedelideli I have a theory....
