I still think the reading malher should be possible. In that case, maybe short for malherba / malherbe?

There is also this one, I don't know what it is (maybe wife) You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I like the "h" too, to be honest, but all the medieval palaeographers here keep insisting that this is not an "h", and I'm afraid that I must defer to their superior knowledge.

But I don't like giving up the "h" either.

I certainly defer to superior knowledge too, as me too I see an "h" there, but there is also another thing that has bothered me, but probably just because I am no-expert and I don't so regularly read medieval manuscripts or documents. The thing that bothers me is the "m" with four legs (to my eyes), and I have come to this example of same kind of four legs "m" and they say that the word is "imperpeetum" and that the scribe has written only "imppm". I don't see any initial "i" but maybe it is one of the four legs there? It looks just a bit like the "malhav/malxxx" in the F17r, to my eyes, but surely JKP will shoot me down with this anyway
