Hmm, "making sense" is not what I would call scientific approach. It generally leads to excessively voluntary interpretations. Let's consider an example. You propose that "mallior" stands for "melior". All right. But the scribe did not write "melior". He expressly wrote "mallior" (or "mallier", or "mal lier", but in any case it is not "melior"). Now, therefore, why should we assume that he meant "melior"? It is quite groundess.
I mean not mixing two languages in a single sidenote, but using them in different notes (perhaps separated by a significant period of time). When I review my conspects from the times when I was a university student, I often find there marginalia in English - mostly those are excerpts from heavy metal songs that I've been fond of.
Quote:I'm fluent in English and Spanish, but it wouldn't occur to me to mix the two languages when making notes - unless the prompt for the note was in the second language causing me to think in that language.
