[DCRM-L] Suignatures Question

[Jesse Lambertson]

Hello Rare book cataloging wisdoms

I am cataloging a copy of :

Prima [-qvarta] pars consi. Patri Pavli Parisii : Pontificii caesareiqve ivr. consultissimi, ex innumeris quibus scatebat mendis, olim purgata, nunc vero maiore cura pristino candori poenitus restituta, nec non argumentis locupletissimis illustrata, ac praeter locupletissimum indicem elementario ordine confectum (1552)

The registrum lists the signature for volume 1 as: a-i, k-u, x-[ᶾ] and then I think, ‘et’ [as shown on this Folger blog post: https://collation.folger.edu/2014/05/abbreviations-and-signatures/] and another character of which I have no idea, but it looks like a ‘2’ (which is the last character in the signature)

Should I represent ‘et’ as ‘et’ in the signature?

Is ᶾ transcribed as ‘es?” (just want to make sure)

And what might that last character be?
I have a feeling it might be ‘con.’

Described here? http://rbms.info/files/dcrm/dcrmb/DCRMB3.pdf

I would appreciate a little guidance on this 1552 (5 volumes bound in 2) book.

Thank you
