In You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., I noticed a peculiar feature when comparing words with You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. with the text of f104r.28: sometimes the boundary between words was the combination of dl. Of course, my work is still somewhat questionable, but I found this observation interesting.
I decided to test the behavior of this combination in a manuscript. It appears in both Currier A and Currier B. In both cases, the combinations behave in the same way - either they stand alone or they are combined with words like ch (e.g., chdlety f47v).
In the recipe section, this combination is often found next to d. Examples: daindl, dlchd, opcheddl, ckhddl, oteeodl.
Before dl, there may be an o, and in one case they form one word together (odl, also often in the recipe section), while in the other case the previous word ends with o (examples: tocheo dlchy; oteeodl)
Of course, these observations are not enough to draw any conclusions, but we can make some assumptions.
It is possible that the combination of dl carries the meaning of distinguishing between words. It is also possible that this combination arises from the division of text into combinations of letters (as in many classical ciphers, the text is first divided into bigrams or trigrams).
