| Legibility: | some Macalister/1945, 226--227: `Inscription...grievously injured by weather and cattle-wear, and requiring the closest study to decipher it: the technical details cannot be determined with security...Before the E the angle is broken, but retains a single H score, which may represent any letter from D to Q: I incline to D. E quite clear: R's worn and broken: second N fissured through: B-half of M and the following A broken away: the R also broken, and between it and the following N the inscribed angle is flaked away, carrying off all the vowels, which can be determined by the length of the interspaces only. I am doubtful between Rotuni and Ruteni. Of the T only the merest ghost can be detected'. |
