Some (not all) of these types of hypotheses can be checked to some extent.

For example: ch as a unit is quite frequent. If one were to propose that this stands for some PT character or pair, then one can compare the counts, and see if they are in the same ballpark.

It is more difficult when one tries to identify ligatures or substitutions, which I think is what you mean with
"ch" being "ae" (as a hypothesis). However, one can do other things.

With ch, there is the convenient fact that we also have a character written in Eva as "sh".
Whatever we suppose for ch, we should find a valid equivalent for sh.

Another example is Lisa's equivalence of "f" with "te" and "p" with "ke".
This is based on credible statistics, but it still raises questions.

The first is: should "f" be the prime form and "te" an elaborate (verbose) version, or is "te" the standard and "f" a ligature to be preferably (but not uniquely) used in top lines of paragraphs.

The other is: while "f" and "p" are never followed by "e", this is not the case for "te" and "ke" which are frequently followed by another "e". Does this lead to contradictions or to additional tentative conclusions?
