On the word "luez" in the marginalia of folio f17v

[MarcoP]

while the Voynich word looks like "kuc3"

Since you looked at other examples much more than I have: is the reading of 'u' for the second character relatively safe? To me, it could as well be an 'r' (or a 'v'). 'r' would not be expected after 'l' but should be unproblematic after 'k'.

Hi Rene, that’s just my personal preferred reading and I wouldn’t be surprised if I were entirely wrong. The options you mention seem well possible to me.

These are some of the shapes for r (54-66) and v (77-81) from Derolez “The Palaeography of Gothic Manuscript Books” (“Cursiva” chapter). About “round u and angular v” he writes that “either form could be used for both the vowel and the consonant”.
