That's a very clear example!
Do you think this is the same for all scribes?
I'm also wondering now.. would scribes in regular manuscripts write the numeral 8 in the same 2-stroke fashion? If c+loop is a common method, this probably means that it's convenient to write 8 like this with a quill on parchment (which does not behave like pen on paper). However, if it turns out that 8 was rarely written like this, the implication would be that all Voynich scribes (re)-learned how to write it in a way that was more consistent with the apparent philosophy behind the glyph set.
