According to Gavin Betts’ Teach Yourself Latin:
Su pronounced 'sw' (similar to gu and qu) 'in all forms (and compounds and derivatives) of the two verbs suadeo (swadeo) and suesco (swesko), in the adjective suavis (swawis) and the proper noun suebi (sweybee).'
...So this includes mansuecere in line 7, thus why you don't scan the "u"!
Additionally good to note:
The diphthong oe in the verb coegi 'must be pronounced as two separate vowels' (ko-ey-gee).
....So when scanning line 17, don't treat "oe" in coercet as a diphthong.
The more you know....
