That's what I would expect to see in handwritten Latin glyphs written vertically -- the isolated form would be used, with no connections to the logically adjacnent glyphs. Shaping, after all, is about physical adjacency, not logical. -- And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic tenebrous ultimate gods --the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.
