Well possibly I could agree for the bad inking of the second word also... but miswriting of the third word is much less probable. It is clear that what's behind the "d" is a totally different letter, looking like "m".
A question is whether this plain text was added at the same time with the Voynichese above, or afterwards (maybe by another scribe).
In the latter case, it may be the result (direct or indirect) of attempted decryption of the Voynichese phrase. Amendments in such case would be natural.
In the former case we, in the first place, have much the same weird situation as in f116v, where Voynichese is combined with plain text, so the question is: what for?
And we must not forget the letter "p" (or whatever it is) above. Note that if we count this letter as a separate plain text element, the four elements are presented in a curious cross-like arrangement:
p
den mus
del
Has this anything to do with the secret of encryption?!
