GD54

GD54 has a 'sleepy' head and a long curved beak. At its other end it looks like GD42:

Indeed, I have as GD54 classified such glyphs which without the severely bent neck would be classified as GD42, e.g. Aa3-42 and Ab4-18:

  

The variations are many. Glyphs with bent neck and a long beak can be exemplified by Aa1-83, Ab1-32, Ab1-39, Ab2-33 and Ab4-52:

           

Tahua has a type of GD54 which incorporates the bottom part of GD11, e.g. Aa2-83, Ab2-71 and Aa4-57:

     

They are not included as glyphs under GD11 and therefore a hyperlink leads from GD11 to GD54.

Other GD54-glyphs have as bottom part GD29, e.g. Ab2-27 and Ab7-22:

  

They, on the other hand, are classified both as GD29 and GD54 and no hyperlink is needed for them.

The head hanging down is a crucial feature of GD54. However, in GD43, GD58 and GD84 there are glyphs with 'heads' hanging down and these glyphs, e.g. Aa8-33 (GD43), Ab4-43 (GD58) and Ab7-79 (GD84), are not registered as GD54:

     

Hyperlinks therefore lead from GD54 to GD43, GD58 and GD84.

Some odd looking glyphs which I have classified as GD54 are Aa1-73, Aa2-21, Aa6-66, Ab4-6, Ab4-7, Ab6-86, Ab7-2 and Ab8-2:
