[Trinity] Questions about Trinity MS script

[-JKP-]

I've got some questions about the script:

- Does r sometimes look like 2 depending on the following vowel? And can this same 2 in isolation be used to mean "and"?
- When this "2" is merged with a "4", what does that mean?
- Does a superscript "u" just mean I have to insert it? For example "2 qtanarus" with a "u" on top of the q.
- I take it that a "9" as the end of a word is a generic ending marker. Is it correct that in the names of plants we can't really be sure what this is? For example, a "Greek" name for a plant is "lamb9". This could be lambis, lambus, lambos, lambes...?

Usually the "2" stands for "ur" or "tur" but it sometimes also stands for "et" which means it can be "et" (and) when it stands alone, or the syllable "et" when it is attached to other words. In this document (at least the parts I've read so far) it seems to be consistently used as "et".

2 merged with a 4 is usually something like "etrum" but it can also be "etem". It depends on context (and whether it's merged with other letters). It is occasionally "etis" but usually the "tis" abbreviation is used for that (it looks like EVA-j), rather than the "4" character.

Yes, the superscripted "u" (sometimes it's written like a colon) is usually a "u" after q.

Most of the time the 9 is con- com at the beginning and -cum/-um or -cus/-us at the end but yes, it is generic enough that it sometimes stands for other related endings. If a Greek names are sprinkled in, it is often -os.

The character that looks like a "z" has several meanings also. It can be -um, -em, -orum, -bus, or sometimes even just "m".
