GD57 must be held apart from GD33 and GD49:
Hyperlinks lead from GD57 to GD33 and GD38. It is only seldom that GD57 appears as a separate glyph. Instead it is an element in mixed glyphs, e.g. as in Aa6-78 (GD37) and Ab7-41 (GD45):
The 'knee' is mostly there but it may be transformed into an undulation instead - as seen in Aa6-78. The undulation possibly is indicating an influence from the similar type of undulation sometimes found in GD34:
Mostly the number of knees / undulations is just one, but we can see two in e.g. Aa4-37 (GD37), Aa5-20 (GD45) and Aa4-8 (GD56):
Undulations possibly suggesting GD57 appear in other glyph types too, e.g. as those in the shape of the 'body' of Aa3-42 (GD54):
I have, however, not found reason enough to include Aa3-42 and other glyphs with different kinds of undulations also as GD57. In GD11, for example, there are glyphs with undulating wings, e.g. Aa4-56:
The problem of how to regard undulations is a matter to be further discussed in classifying the glyphs of GD79. |
