No it's not about giving, it's about taking - if we take the "nim" for imperative, as modern "nimm!"

Whether its about taking the goat's milk, or taking some enigmatic "me" (German "mich"), it's about taking, and it strongly suggests using the spell (impersonated as "mich") or something associated with the spell, likewise impersonated.

What precedes that in the Voynichese tongue, as I argued back in 2015, would probably be:

• quantitative characteristic, like “three times” or “seven days”;
  
• qualitative modus operandi, like “wear on the neck”;
  
• name of the disease, like “against delirium tremens”.
  

So the midline's reading could be attacked from this perspective. Would presbyters fit that, and if yes, then how?
