Ahmed,
When I said 'not to be rude', I meant that it was my hope you would not think I was being rude by raising the question. I certainly did not intend for you to think you had been rude. My apologies.
I think you have not understood my question.
A) the number 2 was not being written that way at the beginning of the 15th century in Europe. What evidence have you got that in Turkey it was being written in its modern form?
B) for your theory of 2 as shorthand (ie like 2U for 'to you'), what words does two sound like in Turkish of the era?
