One feature of the glyphs of the VMS is, that in many cases one stroke is enough to change one character into another one. [r] and [l] are distinguishable glyphs. But in the sense that they differ in only one stroke both glyphs have the same start stroke in common and only differ in the second stroke. A description of what I mean is described by Currier in the section "The nature of the symbols" in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.: " We have the fact that you can make up almost any of the other letters out of these two symbols i and e ... These letters: [o] , [d] , [y], [s] all seem to start with a [e]-curve, which was made first ... The forms all have counterparts starting with [i] : [j] , [l] , [r] etc." (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).
