In my limited experience with these characters, they are the most.. difficult to stuff in a box(?)
On top of these variants (if they are) you have "benched-gallows" and the fact the start of "ch"/"sh" do not act as a "curve" as much as other easy to label "curves" (you have to discount "d" for this to make sense).
There are a multitude of ways of looking at this, and no teacher to give us a gold star if right..
For example I hypothesised that maybe if "c-GALLOWS-h" makes up a ligature, maybe "sh" does also, following general "curve" to "other stuff" rules, maybe "c(middle thing)h" (sh) also makes something that work wouldn't otherwise, like a "curve" to "backslash"(inrjmlv) followed by a curve.
The issue is that while some ideas seem more well thought out than others, both are essentially shouting at water and telling it "you're blue! (probably)" without any feedback.
Anyway, I also think "She = chee etc?" is a likely a theory as any with reason, the tricky thing with "what follows what" is that you essentially have 2 parts to letters to understand them via association with other available context, left side (start) --->s and right side (end) h <---, then you can start to try figure out "what follows what", though if its hiding in the middle, it really is "shouting at water".
Also thanks for sharing all this Jorge, my brain is completely fried today but I look forward to going over it with a clear head tomorrow.
