As GD12 are counted also glyphs which seem to depict fire (rather than the sun itself), e.g. Aa3-35 and Aa8-30:
Even when we imagine us see a 'sun' flower, e.g. in Aa1-60 and Ab2-17
the glyph is classified as GD12. The possible meaning of a glyph must not interfere with its classification. When there are no 'flames', however, the glyph does not belong to GD12 - even though the meaning might be to show the disc of the sun (or the bud of a flower), e.g. as in Ab6-21:
This I have decided to do in spite of exhibiting in the 'front page' of GD12 the 'miniscule' sun head as it often appears when incorporated in other kinds of glyphs. A glyph belonging to another GD may show what evidently looks like flames, e.g. Aa4-13 (GD17):
In this example I have considered the signs of GD12 to be so strong as to necessitate a classfication as both GD17 and GD12. Other difficult to classify examples are Ab4-38 (GD15) and Ab8-14 (GD11):
But I have not included them in GD12, not enough evidence for GD12 is seen. |
