The Script of Harappa and Mohenjodaro and its Connection with Other Scripts c10.s9.5

c10.s9.5

With regard to the fact that [Figure: ] is never found final while [Figure: ] is so found and the inferences to be drawn therefrom, see analysis of Table XXXI. It has been noted that this sign contains two elements [Figure: ] and [Figure: ], which elements are also found independent in our script. (See Tables XI and XXVI). Are we then to consider it as a compound phonogram? In this case it must be either [Figure: ] or [Figure: ]. Now if it is [Figure: ] it is strange that it is never final. If it is [Figure: ] it is strange that it is never preceded by one of the numeral signs which so commonly precede [Figure: ].
