GD65 at first sight seems to be well defined. However, the two heads which obviously characterize GD65 seldom appear in Tahua. Only one example is found, Aa6-24:
A compound between GD12 and GD65 may be what Aa1-35 depicts:
GD65 glyphs can have their heads not only en face but alternatively seen sideways looking at each other, e.g. Aab7-54 (GD69), Ab3-76 (GD75) and Ab5-71 (GD76):
Here we could have classified the glyphs as GD85 if I had not decided that GD85 must have as a characteristic a bottom part like an insect or lobster.
Aruku Kurenga (B) I have found only three glyphs, the first is Ba4-12:
Although with 'fishy' (GD27) heads, the bottom part suggests GD65. Then we have the funny Bb6-17 where the typical Easter Island art has hidden GD65 heads:
Mamari (C) Cb9-28, is a marginal case:
But I feel reassured by Ta5-106 that we are looking at a kind of person with double heads:
Échancrée (D) No glyphs are found.
Keiti (E) No glyphs are 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. |
