Analysis of Table XLIII
c10.s30.1
The sequences show that all the signs in Col. IV are identical or at least allied. I take all to be identical. The penultimate sign is only found in a text when the writing is boustrophedon, and in a line where the writing is from left to right. As already noted in the discussion on the direction of the writing, other signs as well as )) are found reversed in the left-to-right lines of this text.
c10.s30.2
The form of the second sign is peculiar. The same modification is found with 𐩠 and 𐩡 (see analysis of Table XXXVI).
c10.s30.3
The first form in col. IV, is probably the next oldest. From this the remainder have been abbreviated by omitting the lower curve.
