GD34

Just two glyphs can be categorized as GD34 in the Tahua text. First we have Aa8-31:

The left part is clearly GD34 (and the right part GD28).

The other example is somewhat problematic, Aa2-75:

The left part of the glyph is undulating as GD34 should. However, there are no sharp angles but smooth curves instead.

Other texts have similar examples (with curves instead of angles), so Aa2-75 should belong to GD34.

Furthermore, the composition of Aa2-75 is similar to the compostion in Aa8-31. The GD34 part is at left and at right there is a part with 'feathers' (respectively some other external marks).

 

Aruku Kurenga (B)

This text is much richer in GD34 glyphs. Three of them look identical, Ba9-46, Bb11-7 and Bb11-9:

     

Possibly, therefore, they are unmarked, while Bb3-30 and Bb10-2 are marked:

  

Examples with a little 'eye' at the 'knee' are Ba3-17, Ba9-41, Bb3-32 and Bb8-8, all of them seemingly marked in different ways:

        

The little 'eye' is always at left. Likewise all glyphs mentioned in Aruku Kurenga so far are leaning towards left.

Another type, without the 'cross' at the top, have 'eyes' towards right. Examples are Ba7-21, Bb3-38, Ba9-24 and Bb3-9:

        

None of the glyphs with 'eyes' at right have just a single 'eye'.

Two examples are found in GD84 glyphs, viz. Bb10-3--4:

Possibly GD34 is alluded to also in Ba6-37, Bb4-21 and Ba6-38:

     

 

Mamari (C)

Just a few GD34 glyphs appear, the pair Cb9-8 and -10 and Cb3-4 are without 'eyes' and 'cross':

     

On the other hand is Ca9-13 equipped with 'eyes' on both sides:

Ca3-21 and Cb6-27 I have included because of the 'cross' at the elbow respectively the 'snaky' form:

  

 

Échancrée (D)

Only Da2-114 can be regarded as an example of GD34, a strange one with GD34 at the elbow of a bird:

 

Keiti (E)

Several GD34 exist in E. Two rather odd ones are Eb6-17 and Eb7-16:
