Stop being analitical!

[Emma May Smith]

I'm sorry that I have to restate the problem but your answer is not good enough: you've claimed that k and t are variants based on the space available yet the patterns I've pointed out show this claim doesn't make sense.

Let me make this very, very clear:
a) you claim that k is used in place of t where there is less space*; yet
b) when k and t are prefixed with o, both become more frequent; thus
c) less space does not lead to more k and less t; yet
d) t becomes less frequent than k when prefixed with qo; thus
e) there's actually a different pattern which causes the relative frequencies of k and t.

Please don't both answering if you won't address which of the points a)-e) are wrong.

*This is what you wrote earlier:

The reason for this pattern is the shape of the glyphs. k and f need less space then t and p. The additional curve at the top is the reason that t is preferred over k at the beginning of a line or word. There is simply enough space since there is no other character in front to interfere with.
