Quote:Also, that line over the c and "z" shape means it's an abbrevation (letters are left out). The "z" shape (it's probably not a "z" even though it looks very much like one) is usually written exactly like this in Gothic Cursive and usually stands for -rum or -orem or -orum (and sometimes other things) depending on context.
Given these considerations and the fact that the word begins with "lu", what reading would you propose?
"lucrum" means "profit, benefit" in Latin
"lucorum" is plural genitive for "wood" (not material, but an assembly of growing trees)
