GD76

Three glyphs in Tahua obviously belong to GD76, viz. Aa3-9, Ab2-36 and Ab5-66:

     

Ab4-2 may be a compound with GD37 and therefore I have classified it as GD76 too:

Also Ab5-71 may be a compound with GD76 involved, this time with GD65:

In GD63 a structure looking like GD76 is often seen:

I have, though, not classified such glyphs also as GD76. Neither have I included a hyperlink from GD76 to 63 - it does not seem necessary.

Neither have I included any hyperlink to GD18:

At the back of some figures there appears (though seldom) what might be an allusion to GD76, as seen in e.g. Aa5-15 and Ab7-34:

  

Whether these glyphs really have allusions to the 'crossed sticks' of GD76 or not is of no importance. What is important is to find all of them somewhere in the catalogue and I have chosen GD76 for that purpose.

 

Aruku Kurenga (B)

Bb12-31 is the only example of GD76 in Aruku Kurenga:

 

Mamari (C)

Possibly Cb14-2 is a combination between GD76 and GD65:

Examples of 'crossed sticks' at the back are Cb2-24--25 and Cb6-24:

   

Ca4-22 maybe is a standing person variant of the same type of sign:

 

Échancrée (D)

Db3-112 can be compared with Ab4-2:

 

Keiti (E)

Eb6-32 has a somewhat similar design:

 

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.
