Three layers, three counts

The three layers come from different sources and cover different documents, so they measure different things and do not contradict each other. In the word list, SigLA marks some readings of this sign as unsure. Those are counted apart and never added to the main count.

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.
