| D | |||
 | Usage: deliberacione 'd' is looped and the lower lobe of the graph is usually sharply pointed. |  | Usage: multitudine as in Hoccleve's hand the scribe can extend the loop of 'd' back over preceeding graphs. |

 | Usage: sterlingo(rum) the tail of 'g' loops back to connect with the body of the graph. |  | Usage: Gales |
| H | |||
 | Usage: honores 'h' is similar in formation to the 'h' of Hoccleve although the shoulder of the graph sits higher in examples from this scribe. |  | Usage: Buchea 'h' quite often has the tail-stroke turning counter-clockwise to finish. |
 | Usage: Tresch(er) in the French document, the scribe uses a crossed 'h' for the abbreviation of 'er'. |  | Usage: empescher |
| R | |||

 | Usage: forteresse |  | Usage: Senescallum |
| W | |||

| Yogh | |||
 | Usage: noȝ yogh is used for the 'z' sound in plurals as here. |  | Usage: veulleȝ yogh is also used where a modern 'z' would be used in second person plural verb endings. |
 | Usage: deinȝ |  | Usage: aueȝ |

 | Usage: Principum upper case 'P' with triangular bow. |  | Usage: Nos elaborate turned feet on upper case 'N'. |
