Is Sumac Flower Illustrated in Voynich Manuscript?

-
I was trying to figure out meanings of folio95r1. This plant have been familiar for me and I felt a gravity to understand more about the writings. I was thinking that it could be a barberry 
However, the meanings suggest that it is a sumac flower.



تبری = سماق = Sumac


ریج سره تبسق سبج دت کدری پوست ج تبری وریته د سرآتش کدا توپال آتش و بد سمک دریج شط 

ریج > ریز = Small
ریج سر = Small head
تبسُق = بلند و دراز شدن = To become tall
سبج = یاقوت = Ruby
دت = دختر = Daughter
 دت = اسامی بنات نعش دب اکبر یا اصغر = Names of Banate naesh (Ursa major /minor) 
کدری پوست = Darkness of skin
ج > ز = از = From
تبری = Sumac
وریته > وریتا = Flower 
سرِ = Head of 
دسر = Dessert 
آتش = Fire
کدا > کده = House
آتشکده = Fire temple
 توپال =  براده ی فلزات تفته  = Swarfs of heated metal
بد > باد = باشد = To be
سمک = ماهی = Fish
دریج > دریجان = ده درجه از هر برجی = Ten degrees of each sky tower
شط = رودخانه ی بزرگ = Big river
ست = صد = hundred

For this translation I have used dehkhoda dictionary, and my experience from previous pages. 

"=" means that word equals to the next. 

">" means that definition is for a modified but similar word. 

[Note: This translation is not completed.] 


Since it was indicated that folio 95r could be a poison sumac (See voynich portal) [1] and it is next to f95r1, I tried to read it. Using the previous method and questioning if the writings are in wrong place. 

Folio 95r:

    I think you should not rely on what other Voynich writers have said about the plants. It is likely to mislead you. JKPetersen is not a botanist, and not an art historian so he must rely on guesses. You must rely on the written text.
    Please remember to include the folio number in each post.
    I cannot judge your translation or how you approach the written text, but it does suggest the sort of travel-companion friend which medieval Persians called 'an Ark book'.
    Since the poems of Hafiz were often copied into those little books, you might try testing the text against it. Much of what you write seems to be poetry, doesn't it?

      Thanks for your advice. I think from a botanical point of view it is debatable. The lines seem to have a special intangible rhythm. I have not heard of 'Ark book of Hafiz'. If possible, write its name in Persian.

The beginning page of voynich manuscript consists of four paragraphs. After months searching in Persian dictionaries the meanings are completed. گاه وریات/وراط ار وپم تا رو پارته و ریده/رده جدتس حد را دروی آبم جدای شم هومر جتری و در وری ام جد اس وحش محو  شدم  تا پارس حیر و عطر مدر گام The time/song I pass through the lands to go to Parete and there is enormous horizon. I will be separated from border, on water. Homer Jattari and I am in desert. There are giant animals. I vanished to Persia for wonders and attars the cloddy step.       تپاجه قدم جدشار وجدت صرید پادتشم ادریده قدت شد  Steps with throbbing sound, filled with effort.  I found a frozen sheep and its foot also became torn pieces. و شدت وپم دو با دسته دریج دوایر متدرج دریا جدات شم و دسمته ریع وجد مادت شو دریدش پاریدت شم جریاتو جتو درآید جدر شم جاش درد شم جدریات واد پاتو عطریم بشم و رید شج بدریاوشه سر جپام دریامر عطر شد جدریا در توشم  And with force I pass.

The Concept of Immortality in the Voynich Manuscript

The writings next to the figures can form a line. A line that could be decoded like the paragraphs.  Folio 99 R  Recreation of plant figures of the folio 99r in Voynich manuscript As you can see the word "Amrita" appears which has roots in ancient Persian and Sanskrit languages. Amrita is a Sanskrit term which in Persian it is the Amertat or Amerdad = Immortality Removing repetitions for writings around the plant figures of the folio 99r of Voynich manuscript creates the word amrita. I have tried reading the first and second paragraph of this page and the meanings suggested cooking plant structures separately and some sort of recepie for becoming immortal.  f99r-p1 f99r- paragraph1-line1: A) Voynich manuscript: Baad basaa nabaat va pajad saghat باد بسا نبات و پجد ساقات B) Older Persian: Baad basaa nabaat va pazad saghat باد بسا نبات و پزد ساقة C) Modern Persian: Bashad besyaar gyiah va mipazad sagheh باشد بسیار گیاه و می پزد ساقه Definition:  There are many plants and the ste

An Introduction to Voynich Manuscript Decipherment: How to use the Alphabets

-

At this moment, that corona has influenced our environment, I prefer to share all I can. I realized that in this path of translating the voynich manuscript, trying to convince people is not my duty. The world of alive creatures, the magic of life is what I will enjoy, whereas deciphering this book is like solving a rubik, a puzzle, and it's more than my capacity when I see people in the wrong path. I am sure that everyone would be able to read voynich manuscript with patience and peaceful mind. The topic of this post is about using the alphabets. I have improved the set, and now it's even more powerful.  Voynich Manuscript Alphabets We have voynich letters in row (a), these are what we see in the written form of manuscript. At the row (b) the letters for searching in dictionaries are given. These are based on pronunciation and observed phonological change. And finally, row (c) has letters for transcription. When we omit the repetitions, we often need to transcribe the writings.
