I don't think people are making "claims" about what is there.

These are ideas, a variety of possible interpretations. Some are more plausible (or more likely) than others, but you need to throw a wider net when something is so small and ambiguous.

Well that is fine then you can put my suggestion(or in truth mostly Nick's suggestion) in your net.

Mark, in order to state that there is a four in there, you have to first know what a medieval four looks like. Everything you said suggested that you did NOT know what a medieval four looked like. I have looked at tens of thousands of medieval fours, I have collected and classified medieval fours, and I can't see a four in that squiggle.

You haven't even uploaded a drawing of where you see the four so I (and possibly others) don't even know what you are talking about. And I don't mean a drawing that adds lines that are not there. I mean a simple explanatory drawing that shows where it is (maybe a circle around the relevant strokes?).

Koen uploaded examples for his idea. He also uploaded examples of the IHS within the context of rayed designs. So that both shape and context are represented.

You haven't done that.
