I am preparing a new blog, in which I will offer for your discussion a transcription of several (so far two) pages “In elementary strokes”. Anticipating the publication, (in addition to the previously published examples in this topic) I want to show my vision of how glyphs are decomposed into elementary strokes and how their order changes in different “artifact glyphs”.
Examining the Latin cursive,
I got the idea that the gallows are composed on the same principle (in the sequential writing of their strokes). In this case, the transcription of the gallows will take the following form.
Here I want to answer the question MARK in this thread You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. . Yes, visually, these are the same glyphs, but in the lower “register” the order of the strokes is written q = ﮮ + | , while in the gallows the reverse order of strokes | + ﮮ.
A few more examples of decomposition.
In examples 2 and 3, modifiers change the order.
In my opinion, the presence of a point in the right loop of the gallows P and F and the filled right loop of the gallows K and T has the identical meaning. In this case, a point is added to the transcription of the gallows (examples 7 and 8).
The advantage of this transcription is that it is possible to decompose with the help of a limited number of elementary strokes almost all strange characters (including those found in a single copy from page 57v), and can also explain the existence of symbols inside legs of the gallows (Fig. 10a).
Examples 11 and 12 are the same decomposition.
Example 13 is the reverse order of writing strokes compared to o-EVA.
Example 14 is similar to 13, but with the addition of an apostrophe.
I shouted, like Archimedes, the word of Eureka, when I realized what ligature is - (Figure 17).
