Wladimir, I had forgotten about that one! It's like a shorter version of the one that sometimes appears over 4o.
Actually, I take that back. It's not exactly the same. The way you lined them up makes me realize that they are slightly at a slant... almost like accent ò. I don't think I noticed that before (probably because the writing is so inconsistent). -

Here's another shape that looks suspiciously like a macron (a straight bar over the letter). This time it is over EVA-r (instead of a tail). If this were Latin, this would mean the same as r- or i-with-a-tail. In languages that use Latin scribal conventions, the only difference is that it's easy to write faster if you connect it (so it looks like a tail). Whether it's connected or not, it's basically the same thing when it is word-final.
I have no idea what it means in Voynichese, but it certainly makes you wonder if the r with tail is an abbreviation.

Wladimir, yes, I agree.
In manuscripts written with Latin scribal conventions these are fairly common. Also, sometimes the "tail" on shapes "r" and "i" curls all the way across itself so that it's no longer a small-y shape and this happens in the VMS, as well. I can't post examples now, I'm working, but later in the day I'll post some examples. -

Is there any (1) intentional chemical erasure of the gallows loop?

If this is done on purpose, then this is another argument that the gallows “K” and “T” are different glyphs (phonemes).

See how benches with point work on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. instead of eva-e.
These words (regardless of words with ordinary benches) satisfy the rules for the formation of new words described by T. Torsten.
On this page, the point in the left leg of the bench occurs 21 times, and once in the right leg. This represents 10.1% of all types of benches on this page.
In turn, a blot (dot) is formed only 4 times (underlined with a black line) in other symbols built on the basis of eva-e. This is 0.36%.
Who can explain to me why the same eva-e stroke in benches turns into a dot 28 times more often than in other glyphs?
The words in examples 1, 2, 3 have the same beginning, and strangely have an equally small dot after the gallows. It looks more like not a doubled "o", but "• -o"
In example 4, the blot is much smaller than the eva-e stroke and there is no sign of the feather going to the right.
Examples 5, 6 show the extended EVA code 150. It consists of “e- •”.
How code 150 differs from example 7. This is “e •”.
It should also be noted that there are faint dots, the existence of which cannot be explained by an excess of ink on the nib, leading to a blot (dot). -

Wladimir, we must think alike.
I also have some charts like that, and mine are color-coded as well.
But... I focused on a different pattern (which is good because we are looking at slightly different aspects of the text). -

Anton. This could be considered if the bench shelf was written first. And this is contradicted by the benches sh, where the left leg together with the apostrophe form eva-b. When writing eva-b, the apostrophe is written from bottom to top, and in doing so, it must intersect with the shelf and create a bulge (additional ink) that rises up (but not to the right).
This is also contradicted by ordinary benches, where the left leg is written in bold, the shelf at the point of contact with the left leg is fat and becomes faded as you move to the right.
And there are many cases where ink is deliberately added to the left leg on the second pass, getting a point. In this case, the shelf is not circled a second time. -
