"En" as "ein"

[Anton]

I am still not sure why the form for "one" or the indefinite article would be of interest for the VM marginalia though? Is this about "valden ubren"?

Yes, palden, pbren, umen, suppose some or all of them are variants of "ein", and to understand the meaning it's to be read as such, which may give it a new turn (or may not).

But this is a sideway issue, its implication on the VMS would be that if it is true and if this Germanic language/dialect is the plain text language, then we'd expect the same behaviour of the underlay plain text - that it features "en" instead of "ein"
