		A minim is a single downstroke of the pen.
		An 'i' is therefore one minim, an 'n' or 'u' is made up of two minims, and a 'm' three.
		One way to deal with this, if it is not clear what the letters are, is to count the minims and work out the combinations of letters they could represent.

		This formal script design requires a four-stroke 'bet' (starter wedge, head [cross-stroke], minim [the upright "leg"], and an angled bottom stroke that crosses the right-hand leg to create a 'serif'), a three-stroke 'nun' (starter wedge, minim, and bottom stroke ending in a 'serif'), and a two-stroke 'yod' (starter wedge and minim).

		Remember that spelling provides evidence of sorts (y for i; u/v), as does punctuation (potted histories of spelling and punctuation, digested and distilled into a short slate of useful notes, might very usefully be carried in your palaeography toolkit whenever you are visiting archives or libraries).
		And notice how the evolution of handwriting is the sum of its parts -- a single archaic letter form may refine the dating of a hand which might otherwise be only roughly dated.

		The palaeography has shown that this calendar was created in four stages by different scribes, each adding a special focus to the church year (see Scribes 1, 3, 4, 5).
		On the verso of the leaf the final minim stroke of ‘m’ in ‘mea’ and ‘finies me’ is obscured and the ‘e’ of ‘leo’ is illegible due to the fold in the membrane.
