I see the a as a transition from e to  i series although there are cases of o’s followed by i series without the a transition.

I feel like the e ee eee series preceding a d act in a similar way to the i ii iii that precedes the rln variants.

You are right in highlighting the fact that many word strings can be classed e -series and i -series. If you look at the most frequent words and the way they are written then you will see that this is so. The characters in words such as chedy, Shedy are all e -based. Character d is written first as e and a loop is then added upwards and to the right. Character y is written first as e and the downward swing is then added. The initial e curve to these characters look the same.

           

Likewise for characters n l r m . They are usually written first with the same downward stroke i . These characters often like to come after other i -stroke characters.

                       

Character a does indeed seem to be written with the e stroke followed by the i stroke and does seem to be the transition character between e -strings and i -strings.

It seems that the writer likes the easy-to-repeat strokes  i and  e . And seems to prefer to write in a style that is not too taxing. He is doodling with letters to create artificial text. I mentioned something about this theory of mine in a previous post
