Page 81v has the word You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. At first in this word, the symbol eva-o was represented by a large dot. Then corrected by the usual writing with two strokes c + mirror c. As a result, the vertical dimension “O” has become larger than any “o” on this page, and also larger than the “a” in this word.
Another example on page 33v. This is not eva-d. Here, not a monogram (curl) was added to the blot (point), but a mirrored “c” (a gap is visible).
Both of these fixes brought transparency to eva-o. What is the point of these corrections if the vast majority of blots are not corrected? There is only one answer, a blot (dot) and eva-o are different glyphs.
Statistics also play on the side of this conclusion.
On page 81v, the prefix “qo” is spelled 43 times. And only in 3 cases does eva-o turn into a blot (see the tab). What is the likelihood that a scribe will accidentally repeat a blob in the same word? That is, qoky (2 times per page) and q•ky are different words.
Otherwise, symbols based on eva-e should regularly form a blot. This is eva - a, s, d, b, c, g, y, o and benches.
I have done the blot counts on page 81v and presented them in a diagram. (The second pair of bars shows the sum of all types of benches)
Why does a blot regularly appear on the benches?
The number of blots in the benches (14%) refers to the sum of all blots in the remaining symbols (1.5%) as 10: 1. But they are all based on eva - e.
