As long as one is describing the shapes of what one observes in the writing, there is no issue. So, Eva "ch" 'looks like' a combination of two forms that can also appear separately, though that is quite rare. The intruding gallows 'look like' a combination of a gallows and the Eva "ch". One can split the gallows into parts and then write all gallows as combinations of these.
The problems start as soon as one tries to interpret.
Dies ch a single character? What about the version with a little hook on top: Eva sh?
They are not written as single strokes but that does not mean anything.
Etc. etc
Looking for the 'real' transliteration alphabet implies that this should exist. This then implies that the text should be a more or less direct rendition of some written plain text.
While that is a very good working assumption, everything that has been attempted on translating the text indicates that this does not work.
