- An Eva y with a horizontal serif at the top ( Y ) appears in a few words in the MS, to connect it to the next character. Stand-alone, it may appear just once out of several thousands of occurrences of y . It is a standard part of the letter 'g' in many scripts of the time.
I completely agree with this, although I think Marco was right to point out that the serif on the Y to the right of the Viola flower has a wiggle in it and a wiggle almost always indicated an abbreviation in medieval text.
