- 1
- 'ð' unclear on outer crease of fold
- 2
- Suspension stroke unclear, of a type not used elsewhere in this text; may be an ink-trail
- 3
- Nine minims so possibly 'uuinnan', but wynn rather than 'uu' is used elsewhere in this text; could this be 'nunnan' with one minim too many?
- 4
- The 's' echoes the shape of a vernacular minuscule 'g', unlike s elsewhere in this text, but also unlike this scribe's 'g', so presumably read by the scribe as 's'
- 5
- This unclear character is formed like an 'f', with two separate non-joined strokes; it could be read as 'ƿ' but is not really convincing as any letter
