Rotating decoration on gallows f42v

[ChenZheChina]

If this decoration is not merely a decoration but a real letter, how can I know if this is EVA-p or EVA-t? p vs t
...

4. EVA-pp

Decorations are merely decorations. The functional part should be recognizable, otherwise the glyph serves no purpose.

The double line may indicate a double gallows glyph, like You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. or stacked gallows: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. The choice of representation (stacked or not) may have (unknown) meaning, like 'benched' gallows cPh may be a variant form of pch.

Hi nablator, we might have different definition for decoration. When I said “merely a decoration”, I meant that it is a symbol like a pilcrow or capitulum that are not working as a letter.

But, I understand that you mean the symbol is a letter, or more precisely, two letters: double EVA-p. I did not pay attention to the double lines you mentioned, but yes, it might mean something. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ignoring the decorations and the double line for a moment, the glyph starts as p, with a double loop on top, and does not descend to the baseline, so I think it's basically a p.

Yes, you are totally right about the decorating part does not descend to the baseline. One of the reasons I was wondering whether it was EVA-p or EVA-t is as you said, and the other reason is that, the decorating part did not go through the left leg, so it probably might also be EVA-t.
