"The other is: while "f" and "p" are never followed by "e", this is not the case for "te" and "ke" which are frequently followed by another "e". Does this lead to contradictions or to additional tentative conclusions?"
An idea could be that a benched/pedestal variation adds the missing e. So EVA "h" becomes "e" in these cases and "f/p" have implied "e".
T and F seem to conform to this idea with "t" having a limit 1 higher than "f".
ctheee
cfhee
K and P seem to conform to this idea with "k" having a limit 1 higher than "p".
ckheee
cphee
(These are extreme examples but do occur)
This would still raise questions. Why is "kee" ok, but to do "kee" in "p" form you would need to write "cph"? also why "kee" and not "ckhe"?

"The first is: should "f" be the prime form and "te" an elaborate (verbose) version, or is "te" the standard and "f" a ligature to be preferably (but not uniquely) used in top lines of paragraphs."
I'm not sure I have a good answer here.
I have thought though that maybe it is unique to top lines of paragraphs, just paragraphs are not obvious. That's another hypothetical thought that I can't see being proven without a full solution. If that were the case, it would seem more likely to be an elaborate version which maybe indicates a new paragraph, or just a line they felt needed its own thing.
Furthermore, (like this).

I would need to do more work on "ch/sh" to get a better answer in regards to that idea.
My thoughts currently are rather jumbled, probably unrealistic, and definitely not adequately supported.
The hope is that my system will point in a direction. I can't see that happening in some cases, but "sh" seems a candidate. For example if a "sh" is non-conforming and looks like "ele" with the modifying top alteration being a tear-drop shape, then a pattern of this emerging might support the idea that the tear-drop "sh" has different rules to a "ese" looking "sh" and hopefully the rules match up with a solo glyph. This is probably another idea to be explored and dropped.. but it seems logical on the face of it.
