1
Written just as 'ð' without any sign of abbreviation
2
'i' has a descender; the scribe started to write 's' or 'r'?
3
There is a gap of one character after 'homm' - probably 'e' erased
4
The accent might be from descender of 'þ' in the previous line
5
Not the scribe's usual form of 'æ'; 'c' somewhat blurred, perhaps a later correction, but not clearly in rasura and not cramped at all; cf. the clear example of the scribe misreading 'æ' as 'ce' below
6
'æ' clearly miswritten as 'ce'
7
Clearly 'ƿ' here
8
Ditto
9
Sic: hook of 'r' descends fully and straight to baseline
10
It looks as if this was altered from 'ƿyllererecc' by a later scribe who added a descender on the second 'r', tails on 'cc', and final 'e', all in lighter ink
11
It looks as if ?1 minim has been erased beween the 'a' and the 'n' in this word; there is a fold in the parchment running through the gap, but the same fold runs through other lines without influencing the script, so it must be later and irrelevant to the gap
12
The scribe clearly wrote 'ealden' but with the minim attached to the 'e'; apparently trying to correct to 'a'
13
Unambiguous minims
14
Clear Caroline s+t ligature in this scribal misreading of 'eft'
