So the first line may have been meant to be straight, and may have been straight when written; but it looks curved on the image perhaps because of the warp. The two straight lines may be (ahem, cough, cough) just pareidolia...
I think this is more or less what I was saying. One cannot make any conclusions from the angles of the lines from f116v. I'm not arguing that the first three words are deliberately aligned on both pages, I'm just using this as a counterexample, that visually this can happen for whatever reason, and it doesn't follow that the first line on f116v was created separately from the rest.
