Just compare this first aiin with ...aiin in oeedaiin and qoaiin.
By "crooked" I mean the shape, size, and alignment of the letters in aiin oeedaiin qoaiin. Not the words themselves. These are fine. The aiin is not so bad, but the letters seem smaller than normal (compare with the dar earlier on that same line.
One curious thing is that the final e of the lkeede is glued at both ends to the tail of the y from the line above. Just a coincidence?
So I suspect that those three instances of word-final de are errors. In the case of f114r.30, in particular, I suspect that something happened while the Scribe was in the middle of writing whatever glyph came after the d. So he never finished it; and the event also caused the next three words to be crooked.
Maybe a bee came into his office, or his wife shouted for him to take the garbage out, now! And when he resumed, he wrote three words before he pulled up the chair to a more comfortable position...
