Careful, slightly irregular; by a good scribe (name: Zawalda Māryām scribe ). Broad, slightly right-sloping script. Parallel downstrokes, horizontal tops. Rectangular letter shapes. The handwriting of Zawalda Māryām scribe has some traits which are well visible in this and other manuscripts copied by him, such as Ms. MKL-015, Ms. MKL-016, Ms. QSM-001 Ms. SM-014. Apart from the general appearance of the handwriting, some distinct features are: መ is very broad, with loops separated by a wide gap; ም has very short, nearly straight 6th order marker, set up in the middle of the loop; አ has the left and the right legs nearly parallel to each other; the numeral ፩ (1) is normally closed on the left side, not on the right side.Abbreviations
