If the gallow is a single glyph, then the shape of the top left part should not be looked at as if it appeared in isolation.

I think the shape of the top loops is influenced a little by the fact that it connects to the other loop in so far as it is a question of fluidity i.e. it probably affects the extent to which the angles can be a little curved at times.

If the gallow is a single glyph, then I think the shape of the top left part can still reasonably be looked at as if it appeared in isolation i.e. whether we have a triangle or not.
