c10.s12.2

𓆛 unlike 𓆛 does not appear to be intimately connected with any sign, as 𓆛 is with 𓏏 and 𓏤 But apart from this it is surprisingly like 𓆛 . Almost every one of the signs both following and preceding it are also found with 𓆛 used as a prefix. When to this fact is added the marked graphic similarity it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that 𓆛 and 𓆜 are allied syllables representing dialectal variations of one and the same word. That the variation is dialectal rather than euphonic may be inferred from a comparison of 41 with 120, and 34 with 119, wherein respectively antecedents and sequents are identical.
