GD41

The three vertical lines in GD41 are similar to those in the double variants of GD37, for instance as seen in Aa1-66:

The vertex at the top distinguishes GD41 from GD37, but I have anyhow inserted a hyperlink from GD41 to GD37.

No rule without exception, however, and I have decided to include as GD41 Aa7-29:

The reason is that the surrounding glyphs tell me to do so.

As GD41 I have, furthermore, decided to define such glyphs which have curved triplet elements without the vertex, as e.g. Ab5-24, Ab4-30, Ab7-59, Aa1-74 and Ab7-2:

           

Presumably the curved triplet means something else than the straight-lines-with-vertex glyphs, but they must be located somewhere, and it became GD41. These curved elements are somewhat similar to the glyphs in GD31 and I have inserted a hyperlink from GD41 to GD31. An example of GD31 is Ab6-60:

The wave form is a characteristic of GD31 glyphs.

GD41 may be combined with various other glyph types, as in Aa1-28 (GD12) and Ab8-81 (GD23):

  

When there is a sign only consisting of three straight short marks, as in Ab7-45 (GD59), Ab8-4 (GD63) and Aa3-39 (GD53), that is not enough to classify the glyph as GD41 (or as GD37):

     

Similarly, if the sign consists of three short curved lines that is not enough, e.g. Aa2-85 (GD11), Aa6-39 (GD42) and Aa1-89 (GD52):

     

Also disqualified are glyphs where the sign is like curved hair, as in Aa2-19 (GD42) and Aa2-44 (GD17):

  

Several hyperlinks have been inserted from GD41 to GD:s with wavy fingers, toes and hair to facilitate for the user.

A hyperlink is also inserted to GD22 because of the very many glyphs which are combinations of GD22 and GD41, e.g. Aa8-10:

I have not copied them also to GD41 (but I have copied them to GD37).

 

Aruku Kurenga (B)

Ba9- 33, Ba9-37, Ba9-39 and Bb10-31 have GD41 as top and a fish (GD38) as bottom:

        

Questionable, maybe, is my classification as GD41 (in addition to GD18) Ba5-30, Bb2-29 and Bb2-31:

     

The top part may allude to GD41. Another glyph, Ba8-38 (GD17), is easier to be certain about:

 

But once that glyph is found the triplet of GD18-glyphs above should also be accepted.

Curved and without vertex cases which belong to GD41 are Ba10-28 (the right part), Bb6-7 and Bb6-9:

     

Noteworthy is also Bb8-23:

 

Mamari (C)

Curved vertical lines are seen in e.g. Cb4-15, Ca1-4, Ca2-1 and Ca6-4:

        

The number of 'eyes' may vary, Ca5-35, Ca4-19 and Ca4-15:

     

Instead of an 'eye' we can see another kind of sign, Cb5-12 and Cb9-23:

  

Marginal cases (but accepted) are Ca1-25, Cb11-16, Cb12-1 and Cb14-17:

        

(I have also registered Ca1-25 as GD14, which is more clear than GD41.)

 

Échancrée (D)

Da1-118 is noteworthy:

 

Keiti (E)

Interesting is how in Keiti the size and location of GD41 glyphs is used to convey different meanings. Small examples are for instance in Ea1-9, Ea3-1 and Ea4-7:

     

In Ea5-6, Ea5-8 and Ea5-10 the glyphs are both small and lifted up from the (imagined) base line:

        

I have included Ea5-14 to show the perspective.

 

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.
