If these two combinations pick a starting letter in the table, which two letters would start new paragraphs in exactly equal proportions, and account for 34% of them in total?
EVA-p and f are far too frequent on the first line of paragraphs (especially at the beginning of the line) to have a direct interpretation in terms of plaintext - if there is a plaintext. No natural language has much different statistics on some letters of the first line of paragraphs. They could be decorative littera elongata standing for something else, or nulls, or optional not-too-useful gimmicks. In a cipher like mine there are many possible paths, the scribe could have used the p and f coordinates preferentially on the first line without difficulty. All combinations of glyphs don't have to be meaningful. They are nulls but they are not useless because they define the current position on the table. Why put so many p and f on the first line is a different question, and there is maybe no answer other than "it looks nice".
