Monica, where do you see "um", on 116v or 17r?
The first word on the second line of 116v is not "um". It's either anchiton, mehiton, or michiton (if the first letter is a medieval loop-m but is unusually missing the tail on the m). There is no "u" at the beginning of the second line.
-----
In medieval script, plus signs are not usually references. They either represent a cross, or they represent a paragraph to note (the same way they used the word "nota"), or they represent a position in the text (usually ecclesiastical text) where the priest genuflects to give more emphasis or power to the words. The plus sign was also used in charms to indicate a place to genuflect, and was just barely starting to be used as a plus/minus symbol in ledgers (to indicate credits as opposed to debits).
The 116v writer may have had some personal meaning for the plus signs, but it was not typical for it to be used as cross-references to other authors in medieval texts.
------
So you are saying that aror sheey means "hated one El and to sweep of perfection". Can you explain how you got that? I think I know how you did it, but others might be interested in an explanation.
- The first word on 116v is po? (probably pox, since the filled-in x shape is the same shape ad style of x as those on line 3).
- The first word on 17r is mallier.
