Stop being analitical!

I think it's natural to do so for two reasons... 1) because of the curve and line theme that seems prevalent in VMS glyphs and 2) because in Latin scribal conventions each of those is an abbreviation and the loop/descender on the first two and the tail on the second one are read in Latin as "add-ons" (the glyph has two parts). If it they are two-piece glyphs in Latin, there's also a possibility they are two-piece glyphs in VMS. They may not mean the same thing, but they may be constructed the same way.

I am thinking about a generalized glyph merging system where a common part would be written only once when there is a unique way to interpret the result, not add-on components (of "hybrids") or variants. The transcription by Takeshi Takahashi already takes into account a+n = u to remove the u glyph altogether, there are many other possible "merged" or "fused" glyphs. Some are partially acknowledged by TT... this was done on a personal feeling basis I suppose, the correlation with the context should be studied.
