Whether it is a problem depends on what stage the scribe sat back with a bottle of vino to make up the glyphs and give them an independent life of their own.
Yet JKP says the glyphs retain their positional characteristics and that this could explain such features in the VMS so I think origin and case do matter if the scribe was systematic.

Quote:MarcoP: Yet JKP says the Latin -is abbreviation is normally word-final, so this could either be a counter example about the correlation between Voynich and Latin glyph positions or suggest that the gallows are not related with this abbreviation. I have no definite opinion at the moment.

If we trace how "o" is written in uppercase (marked with a red square), then we can assume that this is analogous to loops on the gallows. If the connecting line at the bottom has a loop, then this is "o"
