In Tahua no good examples of this glyph type is found. Ab8-24 is doubtful (no fat stomach and the legs are oriented upwards), but I have anyhow classified it as GD87:
It does not conform to the important characteristic of a swollen stomach. Therefore it presumably does not represent the genuine GD87 but something else. On the other hand, Ab8-48 and Ab8-50 presumably do allude to GD87:
They have the characteristic swollen stomach and, furthermore, the sign of hands shaped like Y. Without question, though, they basically represent GD56 and are therefore registered there too. The two glyphs are exceptions, and therefore no hyperlink leads from GD87 to GD56. But there is a hyperlink from GD87 to GD64:
The reason is that (although clearly different because of the upside down position) GD64 mostly is characterized by a swollen stomach and the Y-sign.
Aruku Kurenga (B) The right component in Ba8-42 definitely belongs to GD87:
Therefore Bb8-19--20 probably also allude to GD87:
Unquestionably at least the upper part of Bb8-19 looks like GD87. Bb1-24 and Bb5-3 maybe are examples of upside down GD87:
Mamari (C) There are many GD87 glyphs in Mamari. A few examples (Ca10-8, Ca11-30, Ca12-1 and Cb10-16):
Échancrée (D) No glyphs are found.
Keiti (E) Ea9-14 has traits (notably the swollen stomach and the position of the arms) which may allude to GD87:
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. |
