Let’s move on to the more complex point. An important criterion of the e-family is that approximately 70 percent of the e-family ends in y (roughly, depending on what you include).
So let’s take a look at the e-family whose tokens end in y!
Here’s the table (click on it, because otherwise its width destroy this post

We have the 10 glyphs preceding the “e” family that I listed above. Then the main 10 “e” values, and here are the other family values that still exist.
I suspect that since the other clusters are mostly empty and only those in the first two Gallows rows are grouped: Here, the cipherer inserted individual values that he would need later, because his table simply wasn’t consistent (which is no surprise with consonant clusters).
Why did I choose 10 columns? Because it makes sense in other contexts.
Basically, though, the first 6 columns are the E-family clusters that carry the bulk of the data.
Here’s an image of all the values I measured—you can click on it:
The lower rows also list the letters preceding the first 10 glyphs—that is, bigrams and trigrams. Some are grouped into families, among other things.
Here you can see that only the first 6 columns actually contain data. But there are still outliers all the way up to the 9th and 10th columns.
This also shows that the first few rows at the top are indeed anomalies—which makes the theory that they were added later somewhat more plausible.
