|
D |
| Usage: deces 'd' is always looped, often with an angular, or triangular lower lobe. | | Usage: tenend |

|
H |
| Usage: homagium the shoulder of 'h' is usually lower than minim height in Hoccleve's hand. There are some examples on these folios, but generally the graph is more upright than Hoccleve's often is, and the shoulder is more at the level of surrounding graphs. | | Usage: Ioh(a)nis 'h' is almost always crossed in this name for the abbreviation. |

| Usage: William | | Usage: Waryn |
