Davidsch in the subject asked a question about “2” (Fig. 5) You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
My answer is this: this ligature is the right side of the bench when the apostrophe is attached to the right leg.
I think that this example should be analyzed together with example (6), where an additional feature is written after a similar (with an apostrophe) right foot. (I previously gave examples where the right foot of the bench is “i” - eva)
Having raised other similar examples, I came across an interesting case on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (example 1).
Earlier, I counted it as “2” (in Davidsch’s interpretation), but with a good increase it is clearly visible that “i” - eva (or, most likely, “|”) is written on the first pass, like the other characters on this line, and the upper part is added with dark ink in the second pass. (this is similar to the sickle ligature (2))
And I think here the intentional miss of this hook (continued to the left).
Let's go down two lines below. Here, a similar left-shifted hook is tied to “e” - eva (3).
My explanation of these features is as follows: the hook is the symbol “J” (the right side of “n, b” - eva), and writing it at the top with an offset indicates the reverse order of reading strokes.
This is supported by the presence on this page of another ligature with the reverse order of writing strokes (4). Here the strokes are written ך + e. In normal spelling, these elementary strokes form eva - “o” = e + ך.
