i.e. billy goat liver and lung. Note that I am not at all convinced of this myself.
For the third word, the ending -fer suggests latin, but if it is -pfer it rather suggests german.
I can't come up with a meaningful reading though.
About the last two words of the first line, one could make the absolutely provisional hypothesis that the "+" signs in the second and third lines mark Latin text:
- lines 1 and 4 are German and Voynichese (no "crosses")
- lines 2 and 3 are Latin (with crosses)
But with this manuscript things never are as simple as that
