Register or Login to view.All scribes in the VMS time frame made a distinction between ris/cis/tis. It was one of the most common abbreviations, almost as common as the EVA-y shape for con-/com-/-us/-um. They didn't all use it (although many did), but anyone trained professionally would have known it.
Are you saying the one I called Eva-k is tis? From the handwritten examples in the latest post on your website, sometimes it was hard to tell which was which. The differences were often quite subtle. In other words I misidentified and this diagram contains only ris/cis/tis?
The short ones that look like EVA-m (and its variants) are usually ris/tis/cis. The tall one (that looks like EVA-k) is usually "Item" but it depends on whether the scribe used mostly lowercase or a combination of lower and uppercase letters. The "is" abbreviation (loop plus tail) could be added to anything.
