GD69

In principle what we can see is an armless GD15 - neck and head directly on top of the legs. Though in GD69 the head is always en face. Examples: Aa1-55, Aa2-30 and Ab8-41:

     

In the double glyphs the legs are not seen, Ab6-47, Ab6-12 and Ab6-82:

     

Neither are the legs seen in some of the combinations with other GD, for example Ab4-41 (GD13), Ab5-20 (GD29) and Ab2-42 (GD75)

     

Although both 'eyes' normally are visible there are instances with only one 'eye', as for instance in Ab2-82 (GD13), Aa1-39 (GD47) and (twice) in Aa1-35 (GD12):

     

There may be 'feathers' on top of the 'head', Aa3-52, Aa8-57, Aa8-74 and Ab3-12:

        

Legless inverted GD69 glyphs are found in combinations with other glyph types, as in Ab7-54 (GD65) and Ab7-43 (GD22):

  

Marginal glyphs which I have classified as GD69 only after some hesitation are Aa1-22, Aa2-3, Aa8-73, Ab4-37 and Ab8-40:

           

A hyperlink points to GD17, where we find glyphs resembling GD69, e.g. Ab5-63:

  

 

Aruku Kurenga (B)

'Feathers' adorn the head in for instance Ba2-27 and Bb8-18:

  

Bb8-19 and Bb10-33 in addition have holes in their heads :

  

Bb2-46 and Ba5-2 have not much more than their heads left:

  

The marginal cases Ba1-41 and Ba4-3 have wings:

The motive with GD69 in a 'canoe' (cfr Bb10-33) appears also in Cb4-19:

GD69 as just a 'head' is seen in Ca1-26 and Ca4-2:

  

In these two glyphs GD69 merges with GD53. Similarly GD69 merges with GD67 in e.g. Ca14-217:

I have, though, decided to avoid listing this and similar glyphs belonging to GD67 also here at GD69.

Cb2-14 is listed both here and at GD46:

Cb9-27--28 are without 'eyes', but should belong to GD69 anyhow, because we can compare with Cb1-13:

  

Strange are Cb12-1 and Cb14-2:

  

Though we can recognize in Cb14-2 the double-head structure in Cb9-28 and Cb1-13.

 

Échancrée (D)

Da2-110 has GD69 as an elbow 'adornment':

Da7-109 has a double pair of legs instead of double heads (cfr Ab6-46 etc above):

 

Keiti (E)

Eb3-9 has a 'wing' converted into GD69 (cfr Aa1-22):

 

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.
