R.14.103KD.14.93 Þere contriciounR.14.103: Here
the R scribe uses two separate bars for expanding the final affix, one over the <c> and
another over the <u>; the second of these is partially obscured by the red boxing
above. What this instance indicates by inference, however, is that his intended spelling
(when the bar covers only his <c> or his <o>) is -cion, and
that the only warrant for expanding to -cioun is a bar extending beyond
the <o> of this syllable. These conclusions are confirmed by the scribe's overwhelming
preference for -cion forms when he spells them out fully. doth but
driueth it doun in-to a venial synne
