Re: VMs: F66r

I guess my point is anyone who is doing statistics is going to get all discombopulated by these combinations.  One might say "r never follows o" but if "m" does then that rule may NOT be correct.  Depending if you consider "m" a separate glyph, or an extension of "r"

Personally, I consider EVA "t" a "q" + "l" but that may be just silliness.  After all, Roman "W" isn't "V" + "V"

I do not think the example above is valid. Eva <m> stands on its own, but the 
remaining of m-r (m minus r) is something that does not seem to appear 
anywhere. The size of the r and corresponding m fragments seem to be 
different too. The only other letter that has something similar is <g>, but 
the right fragment does not appear on its own anywhere else.

In the case I mentioned earlier (below) there is evidence of both parts 
appearing separated elsewere in the ms.
