At this stage of
investigating GD61 we
should, though, concentrate
on form, not on meaning. I
have for once searched
through the Santiago Staff
(on purpose I try to avoid
this rongorongo text
because I think it is
difficult and not similar to
the rest of the texts) and
there I found (I6-128):
This glyph I have now included in my glyph catalogue at GD61. You can easily see the labels of the glyphs in the catalogue by using the righthand button on the mouse. While searching for GD61 glyphs in the text of the Santiago Staff it became clear to me that there was another similar type of glyph which was frequent enough to need a 'door' of its own:
This glyph, which I have labelled I5-120 (the staff has not two sides and therefore the label is without a or b), I am therefore now making into the prototype of a new 'door', GD113. The similarities in form between GD61 and GD113 are like the similarities in form between GD27 and GD62 - one with straight body and the other with a bent body. And perhaps - if we believe in Metoro - all four glyphs types have something to do with sharks.
