| OLE+P̣Ọ: the reading is not 100% certain, but it does seem to fit into the series of five OLE+PO found in the Fr tablets: two where PO comes to the left of OLE (here and in Fr 1201 – regardless of whether the vertical strokes are distinct or merged) and three, on Fr 1203, Fr 1208, and Fr 1479, where PO comes to the right of OLE. In all five cases it is the same ligature treated differently, because it is difficult to merge two vertical strokes, one of which has a left appendage whose contact with the common vertical stroke makes the sign hardly legible (for a similar case, cf. Un 616 r. 4); the trace at left of P̣Ọ is accidental (made with the stylus or a fingernail). |
