Macalister/1945, 277: `The dexter edge is completely flaked away...1A lost, and the following V1 is gone, except for the distal tip. The vowel following the M is A, not O as might be supposed at first sight: the apparent second notch is a mere scar. Of the N, nothing remains but the proximal ends of its scores, which look like vowel-notches'.
