Register or Login to view.It does look like there are two different ways of writing [d], but i haven't decided whether I think these are actually different or are just two ways of writing the same graph. I keep changing my mind. The [cP] type, as it were, looks like a tail-less [g] to me, but I would leave it to the linguists to determine if they might serve similar linguistic functions.
The glyph [g] sits in the same category as [m] as being strongly word and line positional. They both occur at the end of words and the end of lines more than usual. To me, they bear more resemblance to [s] and [r] respectively. The leftward upper stroke in each being bent back and down below the base of the line.
They are not, however, just graphical variants. While [m] seems related to [r] in the way it works they can be contrastive in words. Rene has pointed out two adjacent words on a zodiac page which differ only in [r]/[m]. There are too few instances of [g] to know whether it's more like [s] or [d]. The problem is that [s] and [d] have a number of similarities themselves so there's no easy test.
