Parpola on internal
structure of sign sequences in the script
|
Many texts appear more
than once; these are arranged in five groups by final signs. Some texts in group III also
appear on moulded tablets. Parpola, 1994, p. 120. |

Analysis of clay tags with seal
impressions at a burnt-down warehouse in Lothal; of the 77 tags, 21 bear 2, 3 or 4 seal
impressions; nine seal texts can be read on 14 of these 21 tags which share seal
impressions. Parpola, 1994, p. 114. |

Analysis of obverse and reverse
sides of copper tablets in 46 groups, from Mohenjodaro; the number in the upper right hand
corner indicates number of identical tablets found. 34 square tablets (2.66x2.65x0.35cm);
144 rectangular tablets (3.38x2.65x.35cm) and 39 long and narrow, rectangular tablets
(3.3x2.4x.3cm). Frames of tablets in thicker lines are cross-linked to other groups
identified in bold face in the lower right hand corner. Paropola, 1994, pp. 113-4. NOTE:
We will analyze this problem further and present a
plausible decipherment of the inscriptions on the copper tablets. |
