Glyph counts between Gallows

[julian]

I looked at the count of glyphs that appear between the gallows glyphs, benched and un-benched, on all lines of the text, and ignoring spaces between words. 

One goal was to see whether the counts supported the idea that the benched gallows are just another way of writing their un-benched versions: the evidence I found doesn't strongly support that. 

Another goal was to see whether there are differences in the distributions of number of glyphs following EVA p, k, f and t. It turns out that statistically there is a difference: EVA t , k tend to be followed by 5 glyphs before the next gallows is written, and EVA f, p tend to be followed by 6 or 7 glyphs. For the benched gallows, the statistics are poorer and less compelling.

Is this difference between counts for EVA t, k  and EVA f, p somehow related to the extra flourish that EVA f, p have - I call it the "curlicrossbar" (what is the correct terminology?)? 

Another feature that is revealed is the perhaps well known paucity of occurrences of two gallows next to one another.
