116v

[ReneZ]

The word "tar" is one of the words I find most difficult to figure out. The "a" looks quite similar to the "a" or "ei" in gasmich or geismich. They do not look like normal a's and I wonder if they should be read as "ei", "ai" or something else.
 There are too many strokes just to read "tar".

Comparison with Pal.Germ. 647 brings up a number of things:
- I did not see any abbrevations in Pal.Germ.647, or if there are, there must be few
- The text on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. does not seem to have a single "k"
- "d" and word final "s" in Pal.Germ. 647 look quite similar but can usually be distinguished anyway. Both "und" (German for "and""), and "uns" (German for "us") occur, also near each other.

The relevance of the second point is to decide which is which on f116v, and I believe that there is only one "d" namely the fifth character in oladabas.

Similarly, the text on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. has one more or less certain "v", which is in "vix". Whether the "u" in "multos" is really one remains uncertain to me. Thus, the symbols at the start of the words occasionally read as "valsch ubren" are likely both to be "p"s.

All "i"'s on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. are quite similar, but different from Pal.Germ.647. The one exception is the "i" in vix, which looks completely different from the rest and the question has to be why, or what this means.


Johannes Albus read the above-mentioned "ubren" as "pbrey" and argued that the final character would not be an "n" as this should not have a separate word-final form. Here, Pal.Germ. 647 seems to tell us otherwise.

To cut a longish story short, I don't believe that we have a concolidated reading of these lines just yet.
