Abbreviated refrains (one or rarely two letters) are used in many chants.</note>

<note>The exact number of chants is difficult to establish because of the poor condition of the fragment.
A rubricated indication to the melody is at the beginning of each group; the term <foreign xml:lang="gez"><hi rend="rubric">ህላዌ፡ መስቀል፡</hi></foreign>
is used on <locus target="#21v"/> (on this, cp. Karlsson 1922:94, esp. fn. 436).</note>

is probably older that <ref target="#h1">Hand 1</ref>. Vocalization is not always that of standard Gǝʿǝz, in some (not many) words it is "odd".
The Gǝʿǝz word for God is not used in the readable text of the fragment.</desc>
