A6988 and O.I. A7000. Diacritical strokes are used fully and freely and red vowel dots are also used. A red semicircle is used for hamzah in recto 5 and verso 1 & 5. If this hamzah is sounded with an a, the sign is placed above the letter, if with an i, it is placed below the letter. A red horizontal stroke below the line is used for waslah in verso 9, while the same stroke above a letter is used for maddah in verso 4. A red circle is used with the unpointed letters over s in verso 3. |
