[Torsten]

See all the words similar to [shol] like [shory], [sholdy], [shar], [shod] and [chear]. See also the words starting with [cth], [ckh], [cph] and [cfh]. Or see the words ending in [aiin].

In what way is [shod] or [shol] or [sholdy] like [chear]?

The glyphs used are similar to each other. [ch] is similar to [sh], [o] is similar to [a]  and [l] is similar to [r]. If you can replace one glyph with a similar one you can also replace all glyphs with similar ones.

So they have an underlying connection, that the relationships between glyphs is more than superficial?

Similar shaped glyphs can replace each other: "In most cases, similarly spelled variants of a glyph group exist. Sometimes the only difference between two glyph groups is an additional quill stroke. This is the case, for instance, for [daiin] and [dain]. In other cases, similarly shaped glyphs replace each other. One example of such a case is [okaiin] and [otaiin]" (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. p. 4f).

For the connection between words containing [ol] and [or] see a observation from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.:  "The symbol groups [chol] and [chor] are very high in A and often occur repeated; low in B" (Currier 1976). For the connection between gallow glyphs see a observation from D'Imperio for page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.: "In two instances [f] with only one loop occurs … while in the other two, we see g with two clear loops in the corresponding position. Since all the other symbols appear identical, the conclusion seems inescapable that the single and double-looped forms are functionally the same" (You are not allowed to view links.

See for instance the sequence [chol cphol shol shol qockhol chor chol sho] on page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. In this example we have the replacement of [ch] with [sh], [cph] and [ckh]. There is also the change from [ol] to [or] and back to [ol]. 

Another example is the sequence [cthor chol chor cphol] on page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. Here we have two changes between [or] and [ol] and the change between [cth] and [cph].
