Many words have the format of starting as a  e stroke string and continuing as an  i stroke string. I mentioned something about this in previous posts [ You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ]. My personal conviction is that it is just a fabrication. An easy way for the writer to construct meaningless text.
Or they maybe parts of more complex glyphs. For example, even modern Russian cursive has similar properties:

A similar medieval example is provided by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
While I don't agree with Prof. Bax in general, I believe he was right about existence of two distinct glyphs, i and ii, and that the combination iin actually consists of two symbols, not three.
