There is also the question of whether there's distinction in meaning between k and the variant of k that has the crossbar on the top of the glyph instead of partway down.
If these were ligatures in a European language, it would matter. It would be like the difference between ligature t-"es" (the abbreviation symbol that looks like a loop with a descender) and i-"es". But in Voynichese, maybe it's just the way a certain scribe does it.
Or, to give another example. In Latin languages, these were two different abbreviations: g m (-cis and -ris), but in Voynichese, they might not be two different glyphs (they are positionally similar).
It also seems as though this question about the top-bar gallows and the mid-bar gallows (EVA-k and its variant) and the -cis/-ris shapes is more accessible (less subjective) and easier to investigate than some of the others.
