On You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. there are six occurrences of otaiin. Five of those are on the first line of a recipe, and all six either the third or second to last word in the line. Five of the lines end with m.
I don't know what this pattern is, but it is worth reporting to see if anybody has any insight.
Dear Emma,
I really like your website and I was reading about vowels today. Thankyou!
This is a great find! I have often thought that these recipes may not be recipes. I actually think these star lists are Solomon's proverbs in Welsh. I believe you hit Chapter 10 as there are ten references to wicked in Welsh, 4 words listed as, "WRYGIOG", which adds to a 5 and six occurrences of, "DRYGIOG", and this word adds to 4, but these maybe referenced in an older Welsh Bible. These words are wicked in Welsh. My only problem is that the ten words listed in the 1588 Welsh Bible for Solomon Chapter X is that the word is actually Drygionus for wicked! But there is 10 of them and that word adds to a 6.
Old bibles would spell words differently and perhaps if we could find an online bible in Welsh older than 1588 we might have some luck in translation. I could also count the vords in 107r and see if its close to the same amount of words in chapter 10 of the Welsh Bible of 1588.

The English King James has 529 words in chapter X of Solomon's Proverbs.
A modern Welsh Bible has in the picture below, 548 words for Chapter X of Solomon's proverbs.
Chapter 10 for Solomon's proverbs has roughly about 475 words in this bible link below, which is the 1588 Welsh Bible.
The average for the two Bibles is a word count of 511.

4otaiin is listed 4 times and it = 5 in numerology, along with 6 occurrences of
