It has always been a challenge to tell the difference between advanced encryption and doctor's handwriting.

Or, in other words (to paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke's third law): Any sufficiently advanced encryption is indistinguishable from doctor's handwriting.

Amazing Videos about a partial decoding I'm tempted to believe in: https://youtu.be/4cRlqE3D3RQ (there is also part 2 and an update)

Maybe the two should work together :) would make sense that parts are copied latin in a script of another language, while a fel stars are labled in the original language the script comes from.
