JKP: Do you regard the "4" as in "4o" as being a "4" or not? If you do I can present my case that in a gallows character we have the same shape. If you don't think we can say that, do you think we can say what any Voynichese shape is?
Doesn't Occam's razor mean that we should assume it is a "4" shape before we assume it is a different shape that has been obscured? For example it could be a "z" shape or an "x" shape that has been heavily obscured, but presumably we shouldn't give that hypothesis nearly the same weight as that it is an unobsured "4" shape.
