The long 'neck' may be straight - as e.g. in Ab2-57, Ab5-24 and Ab7-16:
Or it may have a 'knee', as in e.g. Aa1-5 and Ab2-8:
It may also be bent in the opposite direction, as in e.g. Ab6-52, Aa5-18, Ab7-39:
As seen in Ab6-52 the 'neck' may also be slightly bent close to the 'head'. Another example of this is found in Ab8-56:
There are two 'heads' (with different kinds of 'beaks') in Ab4-48:
In combinations with other GD:s the characteristic long 'neck' is clearly visible; examples are Aa1-11, Aa1-22, Aa1-46, Aa5-77 and Ab6-42:
Aa1-25 is a special case because it has GD32 in an unusual form with cut off 'tail' and signs of being combined with another glyph type at the 'head' end:
The long 'neck' and open 'mouth' of GD32 is included in many glyphs which I for practical reasons have not classified as belonging to GD32, e.g. in Aa1-1 (GD42):
Indeed, most glyphs belonging to GD42 are characterized by this type of 'neck' and open 'mouth'. Many other glyph types, e.g. GD52 (as exemplified by Ab7-34), also exhibits this 'neck' and open 'mouth':
Although in GD52 mostly the long neck is absent, e.g. in Aa1-67:
But possibly the straight long back here illustrates the long 'neck' of GD32? In GD15 many glyphs too exhibit the characteristics of GD32 (without that influencing me to include such glyphs also under GD32), e.g. Aa7-71:
Enough said about that. The principle is clear - when it is reasonable to find a neck and head with open mouth located in their right places, then I do not also classify the glyphs under GD32. Only when they appear in peculiar places do I classify the glyphs as GD32. |
