Mostly there is no problem in classifying glyphs of this kind. I have, though, classified two glyphs as GD13 which are doubtful, Aa6-28 and Aa8-83:
Indeed, I had not intended to classify Aa6-28 as GD13 until I saw Aa8-83. I believe these two glyphs are alluding to GD13 by way of their designs.
Aruku Kurenga (B) In Ba9-8, -10 and -13 we can see this beautiful triplet:
There are no similar glyphs in Tahua. The complex glyph Ba5-3 may have signs of GD13 (at right, with half inside GD37):
Just two glyphs later, in Ba5-5, we have what presumably is the 'freed' figure (oriented the other way):
Mamari (C) My intuition may have been influenced by the following Ca3-24:
when I decided to include also Ca3-21 (GD17) as an example of a glyph with allusions to GD13:
I have added Ca7-23 to GD13 after having realized that the meaning of the glyph may be similar to the meaning of other GD13 glyphs. Recognizing this, I also found the similarity in shape:
Échancrée (D) Da1-111 is unusual, not only is it oriented 'backwards' but there are no 'moon signs' attached:
Keiti (E) Ea7-33 is an example where the bottom 'moon sign' is changed into a kind of 'growth' and we can compare with Aa4-41:
In Aa3-33 and Ab6-27 a similar change occurs at the front end of the glyph, and the same type of glyph is seen also in Db4-114 (with only one 'moon sign'):
The 'growth' in Ab6-27 appears to be of the same kind as in Aa4-41, while in Aa3-33 the 'growth' appears similar to that in Db4-114. In Ea7-33 the 'growth' may be of yet another kind.
The rest of the texts The texts above have been used as a kind of 'test ground' to see if the definitions could be used. For the rest of the texts the same principles have been used, although less stringently. The experiences gained have been relied upon rather than what is written above about what characterizes the glyph type. There may be a few extra glyph added, which would not have been so with a strict application of the written definitions. On the other hand there has been no attempt to ignore glyphs which according to the written definitions ought to belong to the glyph type. |
