Two glyphs are easily classified as GD51, Ab6-51 and Ab6-53:
(Indeed, Ab6-53 is the glyph which once was selected by me as the prototype for GD51.) The 'bulb' at bottom may be even more rounded, as seen at right in Ab6-31 (not far ahead of Ab6-51 and Ab6-53):
A little 'nipple' may be found at the bottom end, as in Aa2-7 and Aa4-78:
Often there are marks on one or both sides as in e.g. Aa4-26, Aa4-63 and Aa6-14:
GD51 may depict a hanging fruit or similar and to show the hanging characteristic it is natural to draw an arm which lifts the 'fruit' to let it hang down. I have decided to have these kinds of glyphs classified as GD72 and therefore a hyperlink leads from GD51 to GD72. Examples of GD72 are Ab7-12, Aa6-11 and Aa4-73
Aa6-43 presumably exhibits two GD51 signs, one at the end of the arm and one at the end of the leg:
Given that, it becomes reasonable to also (in addition to Aa6-43) classify as GD51 Aa3-58 and similar glyphs with the sign of GD51 at the end of a leg:
On the other hand, I have decided to avoid classifying as GD51 glyphs which have a bulb-like bottom end (although it is quite possible that they allude to GD51). One example which according to this rule not is classified as GD51 is Aa3-69:
Although we easily recognize the headgear typical of GD63 I have also classified the glyph as GD17 because of the rounded bottom end. If I had not chosen to disregard rounded bottom ends from the signs which are acceptable for classifying the glyph as GD51, then all glyphs in GD17 would also be registered as GD51. However, when the figure depicted with rounded bottom is not a 'person' (in wide meaning) - as in Aa6-14 (see earlier above) - then I have classified the glyph as GD51. More examples are Aa5-28 (GD11), Ab8-56 (GD32) and Aa6-10 (GD46):
In GD22 we sometimes find glyphs with a rounded bottom end, e.g. in Aa2-4, Ab2-9 and Ab7-66:
Instead of listing these as also GD51 I have inserted a hyperlink from GD51 to GD22. There is a link to GD17 too of course. |
