Consonants:

1. OEc,C

The scribe represented OE c as ch: michel, gerechen (= OE midel, gercecan), but mistakenly adds ‘h’ to the stop V (chinge [with redundant ‘e’] but elsewhere cyninges).30

2. OEg,g

Where elsewhere in early Middle English scribes may use Caroline and Insular ‘g’ to distinguish voiced stop and voiced spirant, the three instances of Caroline ‘g’ in the supplement (the second corrected to flat-topped ‘g’) appear accidental. (Compare flugon [Insular ‘g’], englisa [Caroline ‘g’], englisce [1.2, Caroline ‘g’ corrected to Insular], brigge [one of each].) gg fat eg: brigge.

i/g: OE Norwegan (nom. Norwege): Norwegan (dat. pi.), norweis (?for acc. pi.), norweie (?for dat. sg.).

3. OE h

In OE where ‘h’ represents a velar spirant, the scribe substitutes ‘c’: micte, nactes.

4. OEsc

Englisce (twice), scipe, but also: englisa (for OE englisce), seite (for OEsceat)31
