3. There are only a few haś ke (GD82) glyphs in the catalogue, and I feel inclined to add for instance the following glyphs fetched from hįu:
Although the characters in these 5 glyphs are more or less human in appearance, I have chosen to use a definition based on humans, gods, and beasts on one hand (haś ke), and boughs, branches, and other immobile entities on the other (haś). There are no other haś ke glyphs in Tahua than those above. As to the text of B I have not found any more haś ke glyphs than the one already mentioned:
The single example of haś ke from Mamari (Ca13-14, where 13 * 14 = 182) should not be removed although it hardly gives the impression of an entity capable of moving ('living'):
The right part is a sign of mauga (according to my definition) - it has 'feathers' on both sides (5 + 7 = 12) and therefore cannot be a haś sign. The left part of the glyph has also 'feathers' on both sides (4 + 4 = 8, i.e. 20 in all for the glyph), but on the inside of the oval there are no such. It must be a haś sign by force of the oval variant of haś. But I wish to add the following triplet as haś ke:
On the other hand, the triplet below belongs to haś and not to haś ke:
The 'knee' is not enough of a sign to convince me of mobility, I believe it is rather a sign of a 'root'. Although in kai glyphs such 'roots' do appear in a few cases they are presumably added to the basic kai sign, e.g.:
