On f10v, I found one word that seems quite interesting to me.
Takahashi has this ShcTHey. But for some reason, it seems to me that interpreting the word here is more difficult. It could be sheTchy, sheTHHy, or sheTeey.
Given the possible relationship between the symbols e and c, as well as ee and ch, I would suggest that cTh (like other gallows on the pedestal) is simply a stylistic embellishment of the spelling ete, with the addition of a line crossing the gallows.
Interesting cases of spelling e and hangings can be found on f67r1:
In two cases, ep stands before a. If a = ei, then a good combination of epe would result.
What do you think?
