1
Sic: the scribe uses both wynn and 'w'
2
'e' with a backward-slanting downward stroke at end of the letter and end of line; this could be e-caudata, or perhaps the very neat scribe's attempt to correct 'e' to ash as cleanly as possible, or just possibly an odd diacritic to indicate hyphenation
3
'ft' and 'st' are subject to interpretation in this script; st-ligature is used here, but this scribe uses s-ligatures quite freely so there is some ambiguity
