The symbols were chosen from the Sagittal repertoire so they progressively increase in width and don't violate flag arithmetic. Beyond those requirements, the choice might have been arbitrary, but it turned out to be possible to choose symbols whose tempered-JI meaning is valid in most of the EDOs they notate.

And when a symbol only has flags on one side, they are always on the left for the apotome-fractions and on the right for the limma-fractions.
And when a single-shaft symbol only has flags on one side of its shaft, they are always on the left for the apotome-fractions and on the right for the limma-fractions.
