There are apparently a LOT of people who read that shape as "o". I don't understand why.

• It'd not drawn like a normal "o".
  
• It doesn't look like any of the other "o" letters on the folio (or in the VMS main text).
  
• It is not lined up with the other text. It is below the baseline.
  
• It is not round like the other "o" letters on the folio.
  
• It is not the same size as the other letters. It's bigger and has a point on the lower left that the "o" letters don't have.
  
• It has dots associated with it (five of them, possibly six, two on the left and four on the right).
  
• To me it looks like a drawing, not like a letter.
  

Look at the "o" in "so" and in aror. It doesn't look the same. Look at the "o" in "ola" and "portas" and "morix". They are all very round and similar to each other and smaller than the rock-shaped thing after the end of the line.

So those of you who think it is an "o". Why do you think it is "o"?
