There are 15 distinct symbols preceding odar (highlighted in green) and their number of occurrences is shown below.
One of said symbols could possibly be 'V' or 'U' starting from the most frequently observed e, ch, q, k, etc.
...

Let's initially limit the number of prospective symbols that could be 'V' or 'U' to the cases with occurring (at least twice) 5-symbol vords ending in -odar.

This custom selection leaves only 4 prospective choices (and their number of occurrences in 5-symbol -odar vords): ch (12), q (8), s (3), and  d (2).

An interesting choice is the symbol s which looks like sideways V and occurs in both prefixes and suffixes of vords.

It seems that the second red embellishment in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. depicts three Beneventan letters, a two-letter ligature and the sideways 'm' in the middle.

If there are three red letters, the second red embellishment on the left-hand side of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. could possibly be 'ri' + 'm' = 'rim'.

It is a long shot, but what if the still undeciphered red You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. wheel at the center of the 12th-century copy of the Benedictine You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has something to do with the sun?

The 4 ages of man are shown in a clockwise fashion:

- juventus, 48 years of age; and
- senectus, 70-80 years of age.

In said article, the link to a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is of particular interest.

Several flavors of bench-like symbols and some other MS-408-like symbols are listed in said table.

For example, [attachment=10575] stands for 'ur'.

A surprising count of the number of points (nails?) within the segments of the horse's-face-armor frame in the solar folio is observed.

Starting from the the left-hand side with the young person (holding a flower) counting clockwise, the count over the segments gives:

11 + 11 + 17 (or 18?) + 11 + 11 + 11 = 72 (or 73?) points (nails?),

which is equal to the number of outer bumps surrounding the adjacent lunar folio (for which the same uncertainty of having 72 or 73 bumps is observed).

This initial letter is a paragraph starter from a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

It gives an idea why the upper part of the letter 'V' in the first red embellishment of folio You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. looks the way it is (resembling twisted carpets).
