From studying more of Stephen's images of Khamyang manuscripts, we find alternate forms of some letters. I'll add these when having a bit of spare time.

The NA can be written on one stroke instead of two: Screenshot 2022-12-09 at 12 21 53

The HA can be written without the descending tail, and with a dip between the two bowls: Screenshot 2022-12-09 at 12 20 57

The LA can be written in two strokes: Screenshot 2022-12-09 at 12 20 15

This belowmark* can turn the other way: Screenshot 2022-12-09 at 12 31 11 Screenshot 2022-12-09 at 12 18 50

* Unicode calls this belowmark medial MA ၞ but Kensan says it's called haHto. Stephen agrees and refers to it as a subscripted /w/

CA can be written without the dot inside the right bowl, and with the foot/curl in the middle
