As is well known, the glyph [y] looks like the very common medieval Latin ms abbreviation symbol that represented the suffix "-us".

It's interesting that you would say that.
It took me several years to convince a number of people that it looks (and is positioned) like the abbreviation symbol for con-/com- -us/-um. Some people insisted it was a "g" shape. Some still don't agree that it looks like the Latin abbreviation. In fact, some still don't think the VMS glyphs look like Latin script at all. I still get challenged to "prove" that it resembles Latin.
