Ok JKP, now that you've put the link I can see it. I already said that if someone showed it to me I had no problem rectifying. I see Nick Pelling gave another arab example in 2008.
It really amazes me how little this issue was discussed in the 2017 thread. We the members of this forum have seen hundreds and hundreds of medieval manuscripts. Is it that the gallow Eva-t is so frequent that we can overlook its appearance in a manuscript? And also that it appears next to Eva-k like in the VM.
I believe that it is not correct to speak of the talismanic alphabet because it induces us to think about the signs of a language. It would be more appropiate to say set of talismanic symbols, which implies that they are glyphs with their own meaning
