Part 2b:
Examples of Alphas that
are compatible with
the ink traces preserved
on line 2 of 7Q5 |

The examples presented here are similar to the
alphas shown below in figure 1. In each case, a capital alpha with a
horizontal cross stroke has outward pointing serifs at the base of the left or both
slanted strokes. There may or may not be a serif at the apex or top of the letter. The
left serif may be integral with the slanted stroke or it may be a separate stroke. In all
cases the serif is entirely or mostly to the left of the left slanted stroke.

The type of alphas that are not
included in this list of examples are shown below in figure 2. These alphas have
a left serif that is centered on the bottom of the left slanted stroke or is positioned
partially or entirely to the right of it. The right serif may or may not be different.
Also excluded are those alphas that have no serifs.
