GD64

GD64 has a shape reminiscent of a 'fish' (ika) hanging head down. In Tahua there are not many glyphs classified as GD64. One example is Ab2-54:

A more stylized version is seen in Ab8-25:

This version possibly is represented doubly in Ab5-69:

A hyperlink leads from GD64 to GD47 because of the similarities between the two GD. But in GD47 the glyphs have no 'fins':

However, no 'fins' does not automatically classify the glyph as GD47. Examples of glyphs which I have instead classified as GD64 are Aa8-3, Aa5-59 and Aa5-66:

     

GD47 glyphs are not characterized by a 'head' at the bottom.

Two strange glyphs which I have classified as GD64 are Aa6-14 and Ab4-26:

  

Two more hyperlinks, leading to GD38 and to GD61, have been inserted for easier comparisons. :

  

 

Aruku Kurenga (B)

Noteworthy is Bb9-15:

 

Mamari (C)

In some of the glyphs the bulge at the middle suggest a circular disc, as in Ca4-6, Ca4-9 and Ca12-19:

     

A marginal case of GD64 is the central portion of Ca14-220:

 

Échancrée (D)

No glyphs have been found.

 

Keiti (E)

No glyphs have been found.

 

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.
