This one is from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (Sweden, 1405), last word “Sigillis”.
Weird. Why would the scribe use a macron instead of making the head of the "g" a bit rounder? Could it be a shorthand for "gn" or "gnis/gnus/gnum/gna" instead, as in "Signis illis" (= "those signs")?
If the symbol on the corner of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is indeed a "g", what could it mean? Are there examples of quires being labeled with letters rather than numbers?
