c10.s25.2

The sign 𐀄 would seem to be connected with 𐀃 in view of the occurrence of the sequence 𐀅𐀄R which is found nowhere else. In that case we may probably assume that the groups in Col. IV Texts 20-24 are modifications of 𐀃 by the addition of strokes corresponding to a modification of the vowel of the syllable to ē. The group appearing in texts 34-38 may be the compound 𐀆𐀃. The sign in Col. IV against Nos. 40-41 is probably of independent pictorial origin.
