Legibility: | poor Macalister/1945, 271--272: `After the N a mistaken B-score had been blocked out: it was not deepened, and the A was cut over it. The first A of ..SALAR is broken away, and the space between the scores of the L in CELI is broken away, and the space between the scores of the L in CELI is flaked. If there were such a name as Crisalar, it would exactly fill the vacant space, but this is not a suggested restoration -- only an indication of the length of the damaged word'. |
