Thanks Marco, very useful resource is that Verbix!

could the second letter be an "u" corrected into an "o": You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (Latin: softer)?

I doubt it. It looks like it was originally the same "a" as in "all?r", but then it was additionally delineated (perhaps by a later reader) - not very carefully though - but still to stand as "a".

Thx for the link. As to the "fading word", my best guess for the first letter is "v", because the alternative "p" requires a vertical below the baseline which I failed to trace. The second one I think to be an "u". The third and the fourth are both "l". Thus we have something beginning with "vull", which, as You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. suggests, in German might stand for "Voll" (i.e. ""full), or, maybe "vul" (rotten, stinky, compare with English "foul").

Is it possible that there is a valid German reading of the tentative "lucz" with a ligature? Were ligatures used in German-tongue documents, and for what purpose?
