Therefore I have a suspicion that the right part of Hb5-31 (and of Aa1-74) may be a simplified version of GD31. But that type of glyph I have not yet documented in my glyph dictionary.

 

I must start with that at once. Meanwhile I can report that for GD45 there now is an item in my glyph dictionary.

 

That little 'eye' which sometimes appears in GD31 has its special place, which does not seem to vary. It might be a thumb I reflect. After all in Aa1-74 the right hanging down part looks like very long fingers.

 

In GD43 (e.g. Eb8-33) curved 'fingers' signals 'light'. Metoro repeatedly sings 'ua' here (at GD31), which I earlier 'read' as 'rain' (ûa). These two pieces of the puzzle do not fit together.

 

But another, better, 'reading' of GD31 is - at least I believe so at this moment when I am writing - ua = ceremonial staff. At the 'butt' end of the staff there is one face looking forwards and another one looking backwards. Taken together the doublet of their arched eyebrows looks like GD31.

 

And the whole ua staff looks as if it was a picture of a match stick, i.e. a bringer of light. Now I know at least something about what I could write at GD31 in my glyph dictionary.
