I'm sure this has been discussed at length but the fact that Capricorn appears to be missing, and we have two Aries, and two Aprils is weird. I wondered whether a different reading could be an initial C. The bs are similar, but the l isn't the same and I think could be a t, though I note there's no cross bar. I was looking at Occitan words, and Cabrit means little goat or kid. I agree it would be odd to suddenly have this when everything else is a month name, but my thought was that the writer didn't know what else to write.. I also agree that if he considered it Capricorn there are other C words that would have been possible..
Look, it's a random thought, and probably goes nowhere, but the advantage of being brand new to this is taking a fresh view. Of course if paleographers have looked at this and concluded it's Aberil, I shall go back to my manuscript browsing...
