This glyph type is easy to identify - a bent 'tail' at bottom and an enourmous 'mouth' at the other end. No 'fins' are allowed (except the 'tail fin' of course). Sometimes the 'tail fin' is converted into a 'leg with three toes', e.g. in Ab8-42:
Though the 'toes' may be missing, Ab1-72:
The 'tail fin' may be big, small or absent, Ab8-69, Ab3-61 and Ab1-82:
Or it may be 'twisted around', Ab1-57:
The 'lower jaw' may be converted to an arm with hand or fist, as e.g. in Ab4-8 and Ab5-35:
The 'jaw' may be a separat unit (Aa5-17) or shifted into a more upright position (A3-54):
Or the 'jaw' may be changed so that only the general outline remains, e.g. in Aa3-60 and Aa7-59:
The shape of GD26 is similar to some of the glyphs in GD52, e.g. Ab1-47:
But there is no 'arm' in GD26. That distinction makes the classification easy. (Probably, though, GD52 is the foundation of GD26.)
