As I pointed out back in 2014 in regard to f116v, the marginalia author was not particularly careful about spaces, for whatever reason. If we look at "gas mich" in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. closely, we will see that it is not "gas mich", but actually "gasmich".
So when interpreting the marginalia, it is reasonable to leave the room for spaces where we actually don't observe them. E.g., the possibility should be considered of "mal lier" as well as of "mallier", and so on.
You then miss the "i" before the "o".
The third letter does not look like "r" (compare with "mallier" and "allor"). Rather an "u" or possibly an "y" (is the tail there?)

Quote:1) could also be "mallor" possibly derived from the latin "melior" ("better"). I agree that "mullier" (for "mulier", "woman") makes sense as well.

Quote:4) her[ba] herb (abbreviation of Latin “herba”?)
