I would also be inclined to read the preceding "a" as a part of the cleartext. The "a" and our word seem to be written on the same line as it were, in one go.
Like Paris says, you could possibly read it as "a fond"... which reminds of modern French (a fond de...).
What I find very confusing though is the way the first two letters have what looks like descenders from a previous pass. That's fine in the F/S, but weirder in the supposed vowel.
Edit: also, the word before "a" does not contain anything specifically Voynichese. You could read it like.. cria? ciia?
Maybe rather "tua"?
