Emma, I'm sure someone must have asked you this before but if so I missed seeing your opinion .
Could the gallows not serve as a separate class of figure altogether? A logogram like Chinese characters or like the 'monogram' idea which JKP raised again earlier in this thread.
I know that the usual forms for Latin abbreviations has been turned over in detail in earlier years, and the Greek forms were also considered - though I can only date my own survey which is late: 2010. I found closest similarities to Carian fragments rather than standard medieval Greek notae - but that's another story.
Do you think the gallows could be a small set of logograms or of 'monograms'? The question is a open one, not an argument in disguise.
