New analysis of f116v, Central Bavarian dialect
#52
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. Sad

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.... Big Grin
