The top left hand loop of the gallows characters is a 4. Who disagrees?

[Mark Knowles]

We have a large set of gallows characters with left hand loops in the Voynich, so we have a large set of shapes which can either be triangles or circles. Therefore I think one can analyse them in the aggregate and see on that basis whether one can conclude they are triangles or circles. Of course it is possible in theory that they could be mostly triangles with a few circles, though I think this is probably unlikely.

So I think the gallows character with two top loops is a "4p" not a "qp".
