We highlighted the possible correlation between “frigate bird” /600/ and “fish” /700/ glyphs and their presence in delimiter lists (Barthel, 1958; Horley, 2007) through an analysis based on the whole RR corpus, and a reduced corpus of texts, which we propose relate to the same literary genre; the ika and timo genres (see Routledge, 1919; Fischer, 1997).
