    I don't disagree, but I do admire your courage.

    (In any case, the second VeHayu might need a Kotz added to the Yud.)

    I question whether it is wide enough to pasel.

    I wouldn't be so quick to passul, it's regel is bending inwards & a tinnuk would most likely read it correctly,

      Not so sure. If it would be the top of a Vav, there would be hesitation about if it's a Reish. It's MUCH wider than any Vav in that Ksav. A Tinok might read this as a Yud, only because what else could it be. The Tinok might do so even if this were 50% longer, with a nice Kotz top and bottom, and a nice Regel.

      Yes, if it were a vav that would be a reish, however it is not and it also can't be mistaken for a reish, it therefore should remain a sheilas tinnok, as with a shinu tzurah.
      Were it longer it would be worse, and we may not rely on a tinnok if we know he is clearly wrong.

    Shaylas Tinok

    I am not only concerned in regard to tzuras haos (as all agreed there is at least a shaylas tinok involved), but also a dimensional change.
    A yud is a nekuda, here it is a kav IE a gag. So what Aharon said in regard to reish-vav is a problem, to my opinion.

      Would you also be machmir if a nun had a rosh that was that wide, even if the moshav were extended well beyond the rosh and therefore no chashash of a beys?

Ink, Kosher vs. non-Kosher

By -
We all know that there is no ancient source that requires ink to be מן המותר בפיך . Possibly, as said here before, because in the olden days ink was always  מן המותר בפיך and the question was never raised. It was probably self-evident. Nowadays, no decent Rav will approve an ink which is not מן המותר בפיך  . Who was the first one to raise this question? Was it raised because of animal ingredients or because of non-kosher wine?
