Decomposition of the "gallows" characters

[Anton]

In f6v, all "defective" gallows are consecutive, which does not contradict the assumption that the quill got damaged in the end of the first line, and in the middle of the third line it was fined (or a new quill was taken). By the way, this is valuable evidence that the lines on the page were put down sequentially, and the lines themselves were put down sequentially as well. Alas, we do not know whether this is the inherent property of the ciphering technique, because the ciphertext could have been prepared in advance, and put down onto vellum afterwards.
