Although neither
the G nor the K text are using tara glyphs it is
anyhow possible to coordinate (put in parallel) text sequences
in G and K with sequences including tara, for instance in E:
In Ga1-19 only the 'gap' seems to have been drawn - the 'tail' is not incised in the glyph, i.e. the glyphs possibly do not convey the same message. Yet, the writer of G never used a tara glyph and the general message can therefore be the same. The writer of E, on the other hand, never used a marama glyph with such a peculiar 'spur' at the bottom end (and neither did the writer of G use this sign in any other marama glyph). The argumentation for Eb7-36 conveying the same message as Ga1-19 must, however, be faulty: In Ga1-20 a 'sleepy old bird' (moe) tells about the 'horizon in west', while in Eb7-37 a person of another 'age' is drawn. The structure is the same but the content is different. In E there is only one more glyph like Eb7-38, viz. Eb8-29:
I suggest this type of glyph may be associated with the tara glyph type. The facts are presented here. |
