| Ling. Notes: | See Sims-Williams/1992, 40--42, for a full discussion of this inscription, and especially the use of the `St Andrew's cross' forfid for /p/. |
| Palaeography: | Macalister/1945, 224: `the P being represented by the I-forfid.' McManus/1991, 79, also notes the use of this symbol for the writing of p. Sims-Williams/1992, 41--42, discusses the form of this p symbol, and argues that its `St Andrews cross' shape `can be interpreted as a BB monogram', illustrative of the closeness of B and P in Irish, Latin and some Continental Celtic languages. |
| Legibility: | some Macalister/1945, 224: `The scores were boldy formed, and are legible, though worn: but the inscribed edge has suffered recent injury. When I saw it first, some years ago, it was quite perfect... The O, part of the G, I, and first T12 have since broken away'. |
