Someone has mentioned the loss of the descenders before, I think, if I remember right it was ReneZ and I was sceptical, but at a second look I am not so sure any more, one of the reasons is that I doubt the VMs had a binding before the Jesuit binding, whatever other people may tell us.


1) Let us say the descenders of the p‘s are missing, then the descender of the n is missing as well and you have the same n as in the second word


2) If you have p‘s, you could read „p[ro] alsen p[ro]b[i]ren“, alse is a name for Artemisia absinthium and probiren is try out, a mixture of Latin and German, something like „Try it out in place of A. Absinthium“.


Just a possibility
