The Script of Harappa and Mohenjodaro and its Connection with Other Scripts c4.7

c4.7

It has been possible to determine the significance of a few of the signs from the regularity of their occurrence in particular positions and contexts: In particular (a) the numeral signs, (b) the ordinal suffix, (c) the word for 'servant' and its determinative, (d) the ablative suffix, (e) the dative suffix, (f) the word for 'slave' and its determinative, (g) the word for 'son'. The coins bear the same names as the seals, votive tablets, and receipts, but of course without the dedicatory preface often found on the seals and votive tablets, and without the ablative suffix common on the receipts and not uncommon on the seals and votive tablets.
