Three layers, three counts

LayerDocumentsOccurrences
Word list19 of 701 documents with a word list22 of 4,286 sure sign tokens in the word list
Sign-by-sign text21 of 1,707 documents with a sign-by-sign text24 of 6,688 sign tokens in the sign-by-sign text
SigLA tracings18 of 788 documents with SigLA tracings21 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.
