What follows is a rough sketch (of OLB Frisian) that I have gleaned from reading the translation and the text side-by-side. The grammer is mostly word-for-word English-grammer, and no doubt needs to be made right. Some words may even be fully wrong, so please "lend a hand" to straighten such mistakes. I may be adding more if I "get a handle" for the Speech, though such would be easier with a thorough dictionary of OLB Frisian.
Over recent years, I have become convinced:
The work you are holding in your hands is a unique treasure.
I hope this might eventually be recognized even by those who feel reason to
doubt the manuscript’s origin story or historical authenticity.

From my first read, I have not been able to put it out of my mind, or perform
the usual ‘note the useful information, set it aside, move on’ order of operations.
I find myself continually drawn, continually revisiting — and always considering
this time well spent, walking away with something new and valuable each time.

I think the grammer is a bit off in this one.
