Words EVA roral.fchee,llor
The words roral.fchee,llor on page 113v.13 can describe a plant, if we read fchee,llor (fhullor) as φυλλος.
This word comes from the word φύλλον – leaf and is used in compound botanical terms, for example πλατύ-φυλλος – broad-leaved (Latin latifolius, a, um).
If my guess is correct, the preceding word, roral, must describe some property of leaves.
The first word that comes to mind is a Latin word rosae – from the rose (from the rosebush). The whole could form the name of a rose-leaved plant.
Considering the existence of a word composed of Latin and Greek terms at the same time seems odd, however it would not be the only oddity of this manuscript.
If you know botanical terminology, feel free to comment!
