Twinned Glyphs

[Emma May Smith]

The key insight from gallows glyphs is that their graphical similarity seems to be mirrored with their function in words. While we do not know their values (or even what kinds of things they might stand for) we can tentatively say that gallows glyphs show evidence for design in the script. Even if the overall look of the gallows glyphs has been taken from another source, they might have been arranged in a particular way for the script.
