The top left hand loop of the gallows characters is a 4. Who disagrees?
#12
The majority of EVA-q are triangles. Not all of them. Some of them are so rounded they almost look like "q".

But... the loop might not be important. If the important part of the shape is the "cross" shape that underlies it, then it's possible that the loop is simply there to hide the cross-shape or it's a quick way to write it.

The majority of EVA-t have rounded loops, but many of them are triangular, they do look similar to an up-shifted 4 and I have often wondered if there might be a relationship between them. I'm pretty sure I've posted examples in blogs.


There is also a less common form of EVA-q that has an extended upper stem so that it no longer looks like a 4. I've definitely posted examples of those. Here is one that I posted in a blog that demonstrates that there MIGHT be a relationship between q and the left loop of  t:
