Although interesting, "gaf" is less likely than "gas" - first because there's virtually no place for the stroke, second because there is a character much like "f" in Line 0 (in that extremely strange last word which seems to end with "fer"), and its shape differs from the hypothetic "f" in "gaf"
"So nim gas mich" has the following advantages:
- it sounds natural (no deviations)
- it generally fits into possible contexts
- letter shapes are in accordance with other letters in the folio
And it has only two drawbacks:
- there's actually no space between "gas" and "mich"
- the round object is unexplained
But neither of these two is avoided with "gaf" instead of "gas".
So my vote would be for "gas" as a working thread.
