No text, but a visual code

...

  In relation to what JKP says, it is one of the most debated topics in the forum. There are glyphs that look like Latin letters or abbreviations, but they only seem so. Is the glyph that resembles (a) the letter a? I doubt it. Is the glyph that resembles the number 9 a number or a Latin abbreviation? I also doubt it very much.

Antonio, you completely missed my point.

WHY is it almost always positioned at the end, and sometimes at the beginning, and very rarely in the middles of tokens?

This is what occurs in Latin texts so... if you want to propose a symbolic interpretation you have to EXPLAIN why the position for this glyph follows linguistic patterns and how it can otherwise be interpreted as symbolic when it is positioned this way.

I am NOT saying the symbol is Latin. I am NOT saying it is a letter. I am saying it is POSITIONED as one would expect in texts that use Latin languages. This glyph is deliberately placed in a certain way throughout the manuscript.


If it were a number, as in moon charts, or latitude/longitude charts, or in calendars, or any of the other numerous ways in which numbers were used in the Middle Ages, then it would NOT be positioned like this.

If it's not a number, then what is it and why is it positioned this way?
