How far may I go to take individual words as a reference for the origin of the VM ?
Example: "valden"
Is it still german and stands for " val den" ( falls den ) if then.
Or is it rather in Latin to look for "valde" = strong
Can I bring the proximity of the German text to Italy from this? As the crown ( Habsburg ) stands to the battlements ( Northern Italy ) ?
Who can tell me anything about this kind of Latin? Possibly about the origin of Latin. I think it's out of the ordinary.
The word "vallde" is somewhere at the top.
It might be valsen. In the previous places where the figure-8 character occurs, it seems more likely that it is "s" rather than "d".
It's also possible it stands for either "s" or "d" (this can happen in rare scripts where they don't make a big distinction between the two figure-8 shapes), but "oladabas" seems more clearly to be a "d" without a closed loop and final-ess with a closed loop (both of which are not uncommon).
