Analysis of Table XLVIII

c10.s35.1

The key sequence is R'''' . This shows that the first five signs in Col. IV are identical. A comparison of texts 32, 33 shows that the sixth sign is also a simple variant of the fifth. Regarding the forms Å , ⊓ there is little indication to be obtained from the sequences. But their shape and the fact that the varieties 1-6 show considerable divergence may justify us in concluding provisionally that they are variants.

c10.s35.2

The last sign is probably a compound of Å and 目 (see Analysis of Table III).
