With respect to the EVA-f and the EVA-p, I believe those are important distinctions and should be coded as such in any transcription, mainly because they may or may not be important, but at least now, a distinction is being made between EVA-t, EVA-k and EVA-z until someone can prove otherwise. So that would be consistent. And there is one EVA-k that could be called EVA-k or EVA-z. Again, transcribers discretion.
With respect to the single EVA-m that touches the ring. I found this important. I did not think that was a "swath of the pen" because it differed from the other three. It is just represented by a small dot on my model. For the record, I have not found a use yet.
I noted the EVA-c difference with EVA-172. With respect to EVA-156, EVA-199, EVA-171, et al. Just assumed one glyph for all, but noted that this glyph also crossed into the blank circle above all 4 times.
The real important glyph on this wheel IMO is the "table," EVA-x. The reason is that when aligned with the pair of "tables" on Wheel 4 (EVA) (the innermost wheel), the geometry is perfect between Wheels 4, 3 and 2. Wheel 3 (EVA) has only one "table," which leaves only two directions -- a real one and a fake one. The geometry also works, albeit differently with EVA-d. You'll notice two EVA-d glyphs on Wheel 4 (EVA) spaced 17 cells apart. (There is that number again.) There is only one EVA-d glyph on Wheel 3 (EVA), of course 4 EVA-d glyphs on Wheel 2 (EVA) and two on Wheel 1 (EVA) spaced, you guessed it 17 glyphs apart.
So the "table" 'works' (I use that term loosely!) and EVA-d 'works.' We can cipher blank space!
And the final interesting geometry is EVA-v. The EVA-v on the outer ring, of which there are one, two, or three are either the greatest decoys ever or not. And whether you interpret them as EVA-xsa or also EVA-x then EVA-sa can get you to the magic number of 17 yet again.
So, I dunno. But I don't think all of this is an accident. Last week, Wheel 3 (EVA) were Latin consonants. Today they are Middle French vowels. Free and worth it!
