How do you read those two words as valsch vůren?

falsch = Wrong

if vůren = "führen" then:

keep
lead
Carry
take
guide
conduct
run
direct
etc.

but it is not "v" but "p"....

This is how I currently segment the graphemes.

My reading is only tentative. I don't start from the expected word, but from the individual letterforms. The first word is based on my interpretation of the graphemes as v-a-l-ꟙ-ch, while the second is based on v-u-r-e-n, with the superscript mark tentatively interpreted as an umlaut. I fully agree that some of these graphemes are debatable, especially the one I read as ꟙ (sigmoid s or closed s). That shape, common in Britain, is also attested in German-language manuscripts.

The spelling would be unusual, since the normal German ligature is ſch, and I have not yet found a parallel for ꟙch. However, given the informal nature of the marginal note and the variability of fifteenth-century cursive hands, I would regard it as unusual rather than impossible.
