JKP,
Hey, look, I was being perfectly straight - in truth I am already in awe. Having scanned through Capelli a couple of times, fluency with scribal codes and different scripts is clearly a lifetime endeavour in itself. Not to mention, I have read through all your blog and it's beautiful work. Your comparative diagrams and summaries are particularly excellent.
While I have your ear: you say there are 3 variations of EVA-m type characters resembling -cis, -tis, and -ris.
Are these covered by Extended EVA characters 166 and 174 or are they something else again?
Also, I looked again through Meister and found 2 examples of a character consisting of looped small L's with crossbar.
One on P35 in a cipher from Modena dated 1435 and another on P50 in a cipher from 1424.
What do you think of these as possible precursors to EVA T?
I just cannot come to terms with our elegant tall gallows arising from a little squashed fly like tis etc!
I'd rather go with Pi actually.
