The Script of Harappa and Mohenjodaro and its Connection with Other Scripts c4.6

c4.6

The script reads normally from right to left, but occasionally from left to right, and sometimes boustrophedon. In the latter case the signs are sometimes reversed, but not always. It is certain that the reversal of a sign had no effect on its significance. The reading is over the backs of the animal signs, as in meroitic, but the anthropomorphous signs face the direction of the writing.
