  Consider the word lkeede near the center of this image (f114r line 30):
     
  What do you see there? (No, this is not related to the BEEP theory.)
  
  By my count, there are only three words that end with de in the whole Starred Parags section (SPS).  One is a qoteode, the fourth word on line 12 of f104r, a parag head line:
     
  Here the de apparently was the last thing that the Scribe wrote before pausing to recharge the quill.
  
  The other de is on the first word of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. line 36, that happens to be a parag head too:
     
  
  The lkeede instance at the top of this post occurs near the end of a largish parag (f114r.28--31) There is no sign of quill recharging there, but the next three words aiin oeedaiin qoaiin seem to be a bit more crooked than usual.
  
  There is no lkeedaiin or lkeedo in my transcription of the SPS, but there are two lkeedar, one lkeedal, one lkeedol, two lkeedain,one lkeed,  and a lot of lkeedy.
  
  The digraph de occurs quite a few times in the middle of words, but mostly in groups dee or deee. In my alphabet/word model, those cases would be parsed as a {d} "element" followed by an {ee} or {eee} element, which is allowed.  Whereas de before any glyph other than e (11 occurrences in my SPS) would have to be parsed as a single element -- a d with an e modifier -- which is forbidden.
  
  All the best, --stolfi

  I'm not sure what you are getting at, but if the idea is to suggest that somethings weird happens when a word ends in de, then in this example, it's oeedaiin qoaiin that appear crooked to me, while aiin that immediately follows de seems perfectly regular. Just compare this first aiin with ...aiin in oeedaiin and qoaiin.
