According to Lisa "a bowed bar tends to result from a smooth directional change from the top of the first vertical, while a horizontal crossbar is the result of lifting the quill after completing the vertical."

Also found in the 2020 article: How Many Glyphs and How Many Scribes? Digital Paleography and the Voynich Manuscript.
There is also the question "Is the glyph formed by one or two strokes?" I suppose it refers to EVA-k, as the change of direction implies a single stroke. But how does one write EVA-k in a single stroke with a quill? Is it even possible?
Such a long vertical upstroke would be risky on a surface that is not perfectly smooth.
Or should this be understood as apparently one stroke (no visible disconnection)?
