Trying to find the glyph origins of this Vietnamese syllabary from 1929

EDIT: reupload cuz reddit absolutely killed the image quality.

Shoutouts to u/Brightsea129 on their prev post on Vi Huyên Ðắc's script he published in his 1929 book, "Viet script, One way to write Vietnamese" (Viêt tu, Môt lôi viêt tiêng An-Nam).

I wanted to try to pinpoint the Han character-origins of the glyphs found in this syllabary, but got stumped halfway thru. If anyone has any idea for the rest of the glyphs I was unsure of, please, feel free to lemme know in the comments or DM me, this project has been hounding me for the last couple of months lol.
