In others, it looks more like an m.Thanks for the review, I had these in my files from a previous (quick) pass, not yet finalized, so I have to revise these. Rare glyphs are not a pressing issue anyway because they don't matter in statistical analysis.
For example, the 69v one and the 70v outer ring one don't feature the descending long tail that m has, so I was inclined to think they could indeed be z. Later, on f70v, the other z that nablator points out is (to me) clearly an m.
Quote:Interestingly, it appears that double m is also rare but possible; voynichese.com (and therefore takahashi) records two occurrences of double m:On 3r it is clearly daimg IMHO, therefore not repeated.
daimm on 3r (that one I agree is definitely a double m) and damamm (which actually looks to me more like dazazm ) on 67v1.

Sometimes there is a tail but not much or no slant. Sometimes there is a slight slant but no tail.
I'm now completely confused about m and z.
Edit: nablator I forgot about the g character, but I guess now we can add it into the mix of characters that barely differ from m.

according to voynichese.com, there are only two occurrences of z.
The double loop version apparently occurs only three times (four if we count the somewhat dubious one noted by ChenZheChina on f31r).
I'd say that definitely puts them in the "rare" or unusual category, or possibly in the "error" category.

The fact that it has its own 'basic Eva' code means that there must be at least 10 occurrences.
This is still not a lot of course.
Thanks ReneZ, I didn't know 10 was the minimum requirement for the basic EVA characters.
