Now back to page 116v. Immediately to the right of mur: Is that, or is that not, the Latin letter g?

It's doesn't say "mur". It says so nim gas (or gaf) mich. Note that the "i" has a leading serif, just as it does elsewhere on this folio.

In fractured German that can be interpreted a number of ways (there are long threads about this).


One can't really tell if it's "gas" or "gaf" (gave) because there is a scrape in the parchment that goes down through the top stem and the spot where the crossbar for the "f" would be. It could be either "s" or "f". And note that this is a medieval "s". It is called a long-s.
