Thoughts on [m, g] as [in, ain]? (Stolfi)

The above is part of a 'grander' scheme about the shapes of word final characters.
These all tend to be a c or an i-shape with an additional swirl.

Of the four swirls that one can imagine:
- starting at the top and going up
- starting at the top and going down
- starting at the bottom and going up
- starting at the bottom and going down

... the first three are frequent and the fourth does not exist, for both c- and i- shapes.
Instead, there is a fifth option which is first going up and then swirling down.
These are the m and g characters.

For me, this is one of the fundamental building blocks of the Voynich writing system.
