![](https://www.dhi.ac.uk/san/medievalscribes/images/OxTrinity49-292v-h3.jpg) | Usage: the 'h' within a word is frequently joined to the previous graph. | ![](https://www.dhi.ac.uk/san/medievalscribes/images/OxTrinity49-292v-h4.jpg) | Usage: that unusually the loop of the tail-stroke is continued to join to the next graph. |
|
R |

S |
![](https://www.dhi.ac.uk/san/medievalscribes/images/OxTrinity49-292v-s.jpg) | Usage: as sigma 's' is used in final position on this folio in almost every case. | ![](https://www.dhi.ac.uk/san/medievalscribes/images/OxTrinity49-292v-s2.jpg) | Usage: synne a single kidney-shaped 's' used in final position. |

The descenders of both 's' and 'f' are long compared with the usual body height of the graphs. |
|
W |
![](https://www.dhi.ac.uk/san/medievalscribes/images/OxTrinity49-292v-w.jpg) | Usage: whan 'w' comprises two similar looped arms with a single lobe on the right of the graph. | ![](https://www.dhi.ac.uk/san/medievalscribes/images/OxTrinity49-292v-w2.jpg) | Usage: welle the first arm is almost disconnected from the second. |
