c10.s39.8

The last two signs in Col. IV are clearly allied or identical judged by their shape and the sequence R ⋔ . The fact that the first has one short interior stroke, and the second two, leads to regard them as allied rather than identical: vowel modifications of a base-form ⋈ which however is lost, its value being supplied no doubt in our script by a homophonous sign. There two signs are probably ideographically distinct from the other signs in Col. IV.
