In many places the loop on the gallows (or on the "d" shape) fills in due to the extra ink in the pen, but on this page, I think you are right... The filled in part looks filled in and the ink color is slightly lighter than the letter-loop around it.


I have no idea why anyone would do that. The only thing that comes to mind is the old Carolingian documents where loops and vowels were almost randomly filled for artistic effect but... they usually used a different color.

Filling in with the same color is quite odd.
