Induscript

Numeral / classifier system

Some signs, especially stroke groups, may encode quantities, measures or class marks rather than names.

Research compilation

Research compilation from a published ICIT-style digitization — not a complete or licensed photographic corpus

Fit on current defined metric: under investigation.

Plausible for a subset of signs; not a total reading of the script.

Assumptions

  • Stroke groups are quantitative
  • Other signs classify what is counted

Strengths

  • Stroke-group signs are visually systematic
  • Weights and measures are independently attested

Limitations

  • Not all texts look numerical
  • Metrological link is contextual, not proven
