of_o the_o leg_n grate_v of_o the_o bone_n dolour_n and_o imbecility_n of_o morion_n for_o one_o extremity_n of_o the_o shinbone_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o fracture_n tend_v this_o way_n the_o other_o

therefore_o they_o turn_v to_o the_o side_n where_o adhere_v to_o die_v bone_n and_o each_o to_o other_o they_o constitute_v a_o callus_fw-la which_o again_o conjoyn_v the_o bone_n this_o callus_fw-la
