(2) 6 ix 51 I'm sorry about the last page! Now continuing from (V): here's an imaginary example:- Queries * starred. _-_-_ 33 ((5)) _-_-_ (5) _-_-_-_ 4 _-_-_-_ _4_ _-_33_ if complete sign group occurs in another set & "SIGN-GROUP" frequency must not be added. = I sign-group, 33 occurrences throughout. (5 recontructions ignored) Incomp(lete) Dependent: 5 occurrences in Table I (b); * 5 dependent sign-groups in Table I (a) or only 1 ? They're not necessarily the same. Excluded from Tables II-VI Included in Tables VII-XV in "by occurrences" only. Incomplete discrete 4 occurrence in Table I (b) * Only 1 incomplete discrete sign-group in Table I (a) or, 1 discrete & 3 dependent? No guarantee they are the same word. Excluded from Tables II-VI Included in Tables VII-XV in both sign-group & "by occurrences" (4 times) (once) Incomplete discrete in one set, but Dependent in "Together". * In Table I as preceding for each set, but as "Dependent" in Kn Py Ma TOGETHER. Excluded from Tables II-VI Included as "sign-group" & "occurrence" in each set, as the preceding, but "by occurrence" only in the TOGETHER column. (A special "hollow dot", or the like required in the actual SIGN-GROUP acount for this case _to indicate that "sign group" frequency is not to be added to total of "TOGETHER" to "TOGETHER" Is this right now? My confusion arose out of the fact that I thought you were not counting "by occurrence" of dependent sign-groups in Table IX etc : but I think you must be ? Yours Michael Ventris
