I would assume decorations of this type to plain text letters such as f, t, s or i, but not a, o, e or c. Both EVA-t and EVA-p are not open at the top. Maybe the "trick" was done with the rotation, and the decoration / part of the letter should actually go straight down (like other gallows / initials that are decorated with dots or dashes). Then I tend to EVA-t.

Hi bi3mw,

I don’t understand. What do you mean by “such as f, t, s or i, but not a, o, e or c”? I know that EVA-f, t and s are “tall” letters, while EVA-a, o, e and c are “short” letters. But why EVA-i? It is a short letter, isn’t it? Could you please explain in details?

In the example I meant Latin letters, not voynichese. For these letters decorations of this kind can be applied or, if closed, not.
This is meant by open or closed letters (examples, here EVA alphabet):

It is not surprising that all the decorated initials have been stretched horizontally,  as this is the only option if you can not decorate upwards and do not want to decorate downwards. At least this way. An exception is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ( rotating loops ).

Example for horizontal stretch (filled with lines): You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. .
