  Yes, I agree, but this is something that happens very frequently. One can also see that the writing baseline has lots of little jumps. (This was already discussed in other threads in this forum).

  That's perfect, then!
  I wasn't paying attention, are there any words or groups of words that appear separately more often than others?

  It could be sort of emphasis.  The p/f gallows seem to be fancy versions of other gallows or combinations, that are used mostly on the head lines of parags  (as in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) and occasionally inside parags.  Not quite how we use capital letters today, but the same general idea.  In the first example, once the scribe had decided to use an f gallows for that phrase, he (unconsciously?) lowered the baseline to get a bot more space for it.
  
  Or it could also be that the Scribe could not make out those two words on the draft, so he left a  blank space, and wrote them later, after asking the Author to clarify the reading.
  
  In the second example, the baseline shift is not that notable. It could be just the Scribe shifting on the chair between one word an the next...

  The part being discussed before was more related to the small baseline jumps. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. may be the thread.
  
  I never heard or saw that there are preferred words or groups. The overall appearance (to me) is more that of the scribe taking lots of short breaks.

  I You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.  my view of this issue on that thread. The Scribe surely took breaks, but they need not have been that frequent.  The baselines wander about even within each word...
