Because it does not look the leeast like a medieval 4, I mean, look at the published exxamples andd the 4's in the ms.
Well it looks like the medieval 4's that I have seen and it looks like the 4's in the manuscript. I think you may be misunderstanding what I am saying. I am refering to the left side of the gallows characters that have a loop on that side. Such as the 't' character. If I understand Rene and JKP correctly they are both inclined to the view that there is a similarity, not that they are necessarily correct.
Of course there is a similarity, but the loops in the gallows are rounded, the 4's have a sharp point, the best examples are the 4o abbr.

My perception is that they do have a sharp point. I think when analysing the shapes in aggregate this is even more apparent. I believe as I have stated earlier in this thread the question is whether we have triangles or not. I think this question can be answered rigourously.
