RE: No text, but a visual code

I'd like to add something more about (q), the arrow, I forgot in my last post. Many of you have seen that (q) looks exactly like the left half of the (t) gallow. About this resemblance, Emma has written that it must be some connection between the two glyphs in the writer's head.
And Anton has written that gallows are the only glyphs containing a vertical that raise above the line. The glyph (q) also contains a vertical but don't raise above the line.
For me it is a clue that (q) is a movement glyph. It stands for the Ascendant in the Ecliptic and does it move to the top, the Midheaven, as the Volvelle rotates.
Besides, ReneZ has talked about the equivalent functions of the gallows (t) and (k). Nick Pelling also has written about the specific substitutibility of these gallows (t) and (k).
I believe that they could stand for midday and midnight, but I'm not sure.
