12. nullity beside it.16. the number of the Latin letters.17. i.e. for they are not in Latin nouns (words), and so they do not increase[4] (?) the number of Latin letters.19. to cause length.20. that, (namely) that it is written among the others.21. the figures of numerals.23. this is not to be applied, for the figures of numerals will not be letters, although they are written in the verse.24. another thing peculiar.25. there is no accident which can display the peculiarity of a letter as the power displays (it).26. it is it (that it lacks)[5].27. it does not manifest its name, like vowels, and it does not awaken sound, like consonants.28. no complete part (of speech) ends in it.

P. 7a

1. there will not be more (than two) mutes in one syllable.2. beside it.3. in one position of a syllable.4. to continue each consonant (directly) after another without a vowel between them.

  1. the true reading is cur, so that the puncta delentia would naturally refer to the first two letters of iacur: the corrupt iacur seems to be explained by the obscure gloss: with caebb cf. coep chro ⁊ fola LL. 172a 12, Zeitschr. f. deutsch. Alt. xx. 227
  2. leg. bit
  3. in full Sg. 18a 6, 53{a 1. But it is possible, as Thurneysen suggests, that guth. may be an abbrevi­ation of guttai, guth. being written etymo­logical­ly
  4. cf. arcuiredar saegul Celt. Zeitschr. iii. 448
  5. cf. the use of ó after aidlignigur, e.g. Sg. 4b 10
