Most of the VMS glyphs are based on Latin letters, numbers, ligatures, and abbreviations. However, with the exception of EVA-k (which is a common Latin abbreviation), the "gallows" characters do not follow common Latin glyph-shapes, nor are they common to other alphabets in any systematic way.

It's possible they are inventions based on the same general ideas as Greco-Roman scribal shapes, but they are not specifically identifiable. That's why I say Voynichese might include some invented shapes.
