Parallels for Moon/Sun/... faces

EVA-g in the VMS wasn't written that way. It was written in the other style that was common (without the ess-curve in the tail). Look at the "9" in EVA-okardy just before it—that's the style that is typical for the VMS. Some scribes (not all) used the ess-curve 9 as a numeral and the straighter-curved 9 as an abbreviation symbol (and some did it the other way around).

And one needs to account for the little "o" that only appears here and which is usually either an abbreviation symbol (slightly to the right of a character) or an ordinal number symbol (which is also written slightly to the right of a character). The little "o" is written separately.

It doesn't look like EVA-d, it's all out of proportion and it wasn't written like that in the VMS. The glyph at the top of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is the Latin "cis" symbol and the VMS shape-mate is written as a continuous stroke throughout the VMS, in a way that is normal in medieval manuscripts. It's not written in two sections like the character on this folio, with the top loop added separately. The 9° does look like a normal ordinal number, however.

Even if it is the "-cis" symbol, as at the top of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (which I don't think it is, I think it's two separate pen strokes), that would still be interpreting it in the vertical orientation.

Look at EVA-l. It's not written sideways, it's closer to vertical. If you turn your head sideways, it's way off the usual angle. If they are vertical (or mostly vertical), then the two bottom ones are closer to the medieval ess-curve "9" symbol than anything else.
