1 r 10, and våtneNO 1 r 13. g appears once in XXXIII as an abbreviation for
gud 2r23. r occurs only once in XB (helliaR 1 r 17), but in XXXIII it is
frequent for both r and the geminate: JréiRa lr33, t>vRvm lr5, vaR (i.e. var)
lr3, vaR (i.é. vårr) lr7 etc.
This scribe does not employ the superscript dot or dash to indicate the
geminate.
The abbreviation sign for er is used for er (ver lr3, ridderar lr3 etc.), ir
(saclavsir lrl8, lékir lr25 etc.), r (vgladr 2v23 etc.), and eir (peir lr24). In
XXXIII superscript e stands for re as in drecki lr6, breNom lvlO.
The co-sign certainly represents ar in this hånd (var lr25, jDegur 2v22:
XXXIII 2v32 heNur), whether it also represents ra in its appearance in
truianus 2vll is open to question. Note, in this regard, the spelling
Tarianus in Holm. Papp. 8:o nr. 8.
Superscript i stands for ri (gr/mr 2vl8, cristi lr 16) and vi inpvi (Ipvi 2v22,
1 ri 8).
Superscript o is used for ro (e.g. drotne 1 r 16, brot 2vl5), except when it is
used with v to represent roro (1 r2 etc.).
There are several examples in XXXIII of superscript v for ru (trin lrl9,
traa 1 r 19 etc.), but none in XB.
Also represented in XXXIII and lacking in XB is the use of the semi-
colon for ed in med (e.g. 1 r 19).
.t. is the most frequent abbreviation for til in this hånd; hånd A on the
other hånd uses the abbreviation t'.
The 9-sign is used in hus 2vl4, as well as in Latin words: placidus 2vl2,
[Eusta]chius 2v22-23.
The Tironian nota is crossed in this hånd.
In both XB and XXXIII the nasal stroke occurs only over a vowel to
represent a succeeding nasal. In XB all the examples are of a succeeding m:
sinom lr2, honom lr4, hofom 1 r 17 etc.), although in XXXIII it can stand
also for n (hou 2r20).
The superscript stroke rather than the crossed p is used for Ipeira 2vl0,
\)eir lr2, \>et\a lr21.
Crossed h is used for harm (e.g. Ir24) and with s for hans (2v27), normally
the genitive is abbreviated by means of the superscript stroke.
In XB menn is abbreviated to m with a superscript stroke. In XXXIII,
one finds also double m with a superscript stroke for monnom (2v29); and
madr is abbreviated to m with a superscript r (2r5) or, once, the m rune
(lv25) in the latter MS.
