If you're familiar with German, the second word is fairly clearly old German mus (with a B-shaped terminal-"s" that was common in 15th-century German manuscripts).
I also believe the original third word was "mel" as the ink for the "m" (under the overwritten letter) matches the colors of the following letters better than the ink of the overwritten part, which is a tiny bit darker. The ell is quite clearly written in the same Gothic cursive style as the marginalia on the last page and spacing- and shape-wise could possibly be the same hand. Mel was a common ingredient of many medieval potions and salves and means the same thing in several languages (mel, melle, etc.)

Like I said it could go either way.
