Experiment: how would you transliterate the following glyphs?

[nablator]

I got 11 responses. Out of those, I could not color a single identical row. However, if we ignore pfeaster's one uncertain square, he and nablator answered the same. I believe these were also the people wo most explicitly communicated their choices using EVA, which I suspect may be relevant somehow. Zobowiazanie's choices were similar to theirs.

We agree. 10 could have a faint tail or not, I don't know. I guessed not because there are other faint lines on the left that don't look like they belong to this word.

I don't understand why there should be several ways to write these glyphs, to me it looks like it's always two strokes: the e or i first, then the loop that ends with a tail (or not).
Depending on where the loop ends you get:
e s d g
i r j m

I don't think that some scribes (this one especially) had a good enough control of their quill: small variations were unavoidable and were not intentional. Only big variations (line or curve, tail or no tail) can be meaningful in my opinion.
