Anton, I've been going through my sample library and I've found an example of a hand that writes a u/v in the normal way at the beginnings of words, but sometimes (not always) writes them like an "n" or "m" (with the loops at the top rather than the bottom) when it's near the end of a word (and inconsistently dots or doesn't dot the "i").
This isn't especially common, which is why I was not considering it a strong possibility on 116v but... I mention it because it means "n" or "m" in a Gothic cursive hand can sometimes be "u".
