Oops! - let me try it again.

I have seen a manuscript in which the initial word "Deus" was written as a large

illuminated "D" with the rest of the word written inside it. I wonder if the
"stretched gallows" characters could be something similar. One way to check
might be to look at what characters appear inside such a stretched gallows and
whether the equivalent word with the gallows character in front also appears.
