JKP: If I understand what you are saying correctly then I think you miss what I am saying. I am saying that left part of the t ligature is an upshifted VMS symbol "4", though I am not overly fond of the term "upshifted" here. Of course the similarity could be incidental, but again I think Occam's razor comes into play. The similarity between any Voynich symbol and any other symbol in any other script may be incidental, but I think it is not unreasonable to make that association in some cases. In fact you try to make this kind of precise association with the latin script, so you must think it possible. Otherwise we can't associate the "8" symbol with the "8" shape.
