[split] Marginalia Latin script [GENERAL DISCUSSION]

[Wladimir D]

I do not understand why everyone agreed that on the marginalia 17r the first letter of the third word is "L". Compare with the others on 17r and 116v. There is nowhere else a corner (break) in the vertical line (see the red arrow). There are also the remnants of ink (thin lines? Green arrow), which together with the vertical line can be interpreted as one of the variants of writing the letter "k". (we have nothing to compare it with. On the margins of VMS "k" is missing).
If this is a "k", then this can be a phonetic adaptation of qu to ku, a clerk for whom Latin was not the native language, and there were no strict grammatical rules.
Apparently for this reason, the author, who compiled a guide to "abbreviations " You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.   placed abbreviations that begin on u, v, w in one section (see pages 447-464 of the pdf file).
