I think for most of them, we are at the stage of "Where are they?" "What do they look like?" (and they might look like more than one thing).
Like the rest of the text, I don't think we really have any "What does it mean?" data yet but there are some interesting patterns of "oddball" glyphs that show up fairly frequently through the manuscript.
There are also some "tells" that give us clues as to what certain shapes might be.
For example, in Latin scripts, EVA-y is written two ways...
Similarly, in the VMS this shape is written both in-line and superscripted, which is almost a dead give-away that this is not based on the "g" letter, and is probably EVA-y shape (Latin abbreviation-shape). Whether this has anything to do with meaning is difficult to tell, but the glyph does not behave like a letter, considering where it is positioned in tokens and how it is sometimes superscripted like an abbreviation (this might be based on how it is intended to be interpreted OR it might show a scribal slip based on how the writer THOUGHT of it or remembered the shape while writing).

For example, in Latin scripts, EVA-y is written two ways...
- in line with the rest of the text (so it resembles a "g" but with a slightly different shape and its position is usually at the ends of tokens, and sometimes at beginning)
- superscripted (positioned at the ends of tokens)
