Three layers, three counts

Layer	Documents	Occurrences
Word list	5 of 701 documents with a word list	6 of 4,286 sure sign tokens in the word list
Sign-by-sign text	54 of 1,707 documents with a sign-by-sign text	65 of 6,688 sign tokens in the sign-by-sign text
SigLA tracings	39 of 788 documents with SigLA tracings	45 of 5,145 occurrences in the SigLA tracings

The three layers come from different sources and cover different documents, so they measure different things and do not contradict each other.

Every value under "proposed values" is one source's proposal. This project has checked none of them against the objects. Where the sources agree, that is agreement, not proof, and a count of where a sign turns up cannot tell you what it means.

In context

Every place SigLA traced this sign, with the crop before it and the crop after it. The middle one is this sign. Pick a site, a period or a scribe hand to narrow it down, or regroup the lot.

The line number, the rest of the line and the amount show only where SigLA's crops and the sign-by-sign text agree sign for sign. Everywhere else the neighbours are just the next crops in SigLA's order (so they may sit on another line). The scribe hands are the ones lineara.xyz lists in its scribe field.
