GD52

The glyphs in GD52 are easy to recognize. Mostly we see what looks like a gesture of eating, as e.g. in Ab1-48:

Though the orientation of the 'head' is often as if looking at zenith, e.g. in Ab1-59:

The 'mouth' may be enormous, e.g. as in Ab1-47 (left below), and presumably we then have an allusion to GD26 (right):

  

GD26 has no arm, otherwise there is not much difference between these two glyphs and a hyperlink leads from GD52 to GD26.

The 'eating' gesture, expressed as an arm ending with an inwards oriented hand (three fingers only), is a characteristic of the normal GD52 glyphs. Therefore, presumably, glyphs of other kinds which incorporate this sign allude to GD52. I have classified some such glyph also as GD52. Examples: Aa1-22 (GD12 + GD32) and Aa2-25 (GD17):

  

On the other hand, GD52 glyphs may have other 'arm-and-hand' signs, e.g. Aa1-65, Aa1-67, Aa1-74, Aa2-61, Aa4-27 and Ab1-34:

              

The 'leg-and-foot' is mostly as seen in the examples so far, but the 'toes' may be missing, e.g. Aa7-22, Aa2-80 and Aa3-12:

     

Furthermore, due to the sitting posture I have also classified some odd glyphs as GD52, viz. Aa2-42, Aa6-39, Aa6-40, Aa6-49, Aa6-52, Aa6-62, Aa6-84, Aa7-1 and Aa7-6:

           

There are a few composite odd glyphs, which I have classified as GD51, viz. Aa1-80, Ab3-66, Ab4-12 and Ab6-23:

        

As the 'gesture of eating' often appears in other GD I have not registered all glyphs with this characteristic as also GD52. Instead there are hyperlinks to those GD which frequently incorporate the 'gesture of eating'. Hyperlinks leads to GD15, GD26, GD29, GD35, GD42, GD62, GD74 and GD114:
