Doesn't this matches the analysis of the 'd' as 'c' + a kind of slanted P-shape I brought forward two or three days ago? I could have been derouted by my previous knowledge of the 'et' ligature ductus, but it is reassuring that a Vms. expert who claims NOT to have a paleographical training 'saw' the same ductus...
