The double-headed (sleepy) bird which is the characteristic of GD58 is easy to recognize. The bottom part is normally GD11, but the GD58 glyphs are not shown under GD11. Instead a hyperlink leads from GD11 to GD58. The top part is a twin variant of GD54, of a sort we can see in for instance Ab1-64:
The GD58 glyphs are not shown under GD54, but a hyperlink leads from GD54 to GD58. In compounds the bottom part may be something else, as in Ab5-17 (GD69 inverted):
The upper part often shows signs of different sorts, as in Ab4-71 and Aa3-50:
At top middle a little rhomb may protrude (Aa3-10 and Ab3-8):
Like the wings in GD11 the wings in GD58 may undulate, Ab2-37:
Aruku Kurenga (B) No glyphs belonging to GD58 have been found.
Mamari (C) The only three GD58 glyphs (Ca14-220, Cb5-9 and Cb14-15) have different characteristics:
Échancrée (D) Db1-111 is similar to Ab2-37 (as far as can be seen)
Keiti (E) Eb5-30 has a fish at center bottom, while Ea6-30 has some other rare element at center bottom:
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. |
