Do you mean b? We're not talking about Latin "d" here, but about EVA "b".
Ah, I get it now (I think)—it was self-referential (within the VMS).
I don't use EVA, I use my own key-mapping and fonts, so just to be sure I understand it, are you referring to the EVA designation for the shape at the end of some of the daiin tokens?
If so, then I'll agree they may have something in common. It would be consistent with medieval conventions. In Latin scripts, the tail is an abbreviation symbol and in Latin scripts, the various apostrophes are also abbreviation symbols, and some of these symbols are used in both positions (above letters and also at the ends of words) so yes, in the VMS there may also be a relationship between the "d" shaped tail and the "d" shaped "apostrophe" glyph.
