Experiment: how would you transliterate the following glyphs?
#11
I think the tail can be clearly seen in #10, which is why I assigned it to glyph B.

Regarding the 8-shape, while copying the text myself it quickly became obvious that e is written first, and then the loop is made counter-clockwise as part of a second stroke. As counterintuitive as it may seem I'd say this is the way my handwritten 8's resemble the VMS ones the most.

First pick either e or i and then pick an upwards flourish, a downwards tail, a counter-clockwise loop or a counter-clockwise loop with a tail.

Also, I did an experiment where I tried to write the loops faster and faster each time, and some of those 8's resembled glyphs 6-9 and 11 from the OP.
