The signs

Every sign type, sized by how often it turns up. Tap one to see it in context on other documents. 349 of 378 sign types on this site have a tracing. The rest say so.

Not a font. A font glyph is a modern artist's clean-up. These crops are the strokes as somebody drew them off the clay, and they vary, because scribes did.

Three kinds. Syllabograms stand for a sound, and the sound is borrowed from Linear B, where the same shape can be read. That is an assumption, not a proof: a sign-specific argument exists for about 20 of the 58 syllabic signs (our count, 14 August 2026), and convention assumes the rest. Logograms stand for a thing: wine, figs, a person. Fractions are the small marks after a number. Where nobody has sorted a sign into a kind, it says so.

The count under each sign is the documents it appears in, in any of the three layers we hold. The three layers are the word list, the sign-by-sign text and the SigLA tracings. The base is the documents with any sign at all: 1,817 of 1,883 documents in the corpus. The layers do not agree with each other, and each sign page shows all three.
