If the 1st downward stroke was a circle on a straight line it might be strawberry

Your working hard tambourine :)

[tamborine]

the 2 dots after the right & left angle strokes, b & r could sound like er, ber & rer

Well all as I can tell you is that what I was trying to do worked with strawberry, and the person that did this shorthand was getting on a bit in age, and it was sort of scribbled down and I copied it as best I could, also knowing the person well I put two and two together and tried strawberry and it worked, so well done you did say strawberry in one of your posts :)
