Michael,

So far, I have to concur with Rick. The cursive i's (w/o dots) in the row
right above the cursive j's kill your example.

Claiming this as evidence for a dotless-j as a character distinct
from a j would be like digging through German handwriting and
then claiming that u with a breve mark was distinct from u
(in that context). Whereas, what you need is examples that show
the *contrast* of u versus u-breve in the *same* context.
