⁵ and 6 Woepcke, "Introduction au calcul Gobārī et Hawāī," *Atti dell' accademia pontificia dei nuovi Lincei*, Vol. XIX. The adjective applied to the forms in 5 is *ġobārī* and to those in 6 *indienne*. This is the direct opposite of Woepcke's use of these adjectives in the *Recherches sur l'histoire* cited above, in which the ordinary Arabic forms (like those in row 5) are called *indiens*. These forms are usually written from right to left.
