There should have been more explanation of the meanings of the words. I figured out that a diamond over a letter seemed to signify the absence of a letter. So for example “vetris” with a diamond over the “e” meant “ventris,” and “agelis” with a diamond over the “a” must have meant “angelis.” But there are other things I couldn’t figure out and would have welcomed some explanatory notes. Maybe you can supply a tip or two!!
