Cf. “Q” in Art. VI, cl. 3, “Qualification”, in which the letter is shaped as for lower case but scaled large.

• The semicolon may possibly be a comma, if the dot comprising the upper part of what appears to be a semicolon is actually part of the calligraphy of the “w”. However, the dot is generally darker than the stroke touching it from the “w” and darker than the balance of the “w”, while it’s about as dark as the stroke that would be the comma. Thus, the character is likelier to be a semicolon.

The only thing resembling a smudge, discoloration, interruption, or other defect is at the stroke attachment point on the right side of the “a”, too low to imply an “o” instead, and thus is irrelevant to the apparent misspelling. — 2.

• The comma is faint, and possibly isn’t present, but spacing appears intended to accommodate a comma. An alternative explanation for the visible mark is that it is the beginning of an upstroke for the “b” which comes next, but that is not consistent with other occurrences of an initial “b” in this Amendment and in Amendments II and IX, which do not show such an upstroke commencing much to the left of the principal downstroke in the corresponding letter.
