ABSTRACT This article discusses a possible identification of a duplication marker in the rongorongo script. Several structural observations as well as statistical analysis point to “split circles” glyph as a likely bearer of reduplication functions. This notion springs from internal analysis of the genealogy portion in the Small Santiago Tablet as well as syntax patterns exhibited by “split circles” in other inscriptions. As a result of the analysis performed in this work, several semantically… Expand

Exploring a mysterious tablet from Easter Island: the issues of authenticity and falsifiability in rongorongo studies
TLDR
An analysis is conducted on an artifact that relates to the rongorongo tradition on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), a tradition first recorded in 1864 by the lay missionary Joseph-Eugène Eyraud, and finds evidence that it is a part of the genuine rong orongo tradition. Expand

Structural Analysis of Rongorongo Inscriptions*
M y investigation of rongorongo script reveals numerous parallel passages (e.g. Butinov and Knorozov 1956:84, Barthel 1958:156-7, Pozdniakov 1996:295, Fischer 1997:283), and these allow me to suggest… Expand
Structural Observations Regarding RongoRongo Tablet ‘Keiti’
TLDR
The study reports on a pattern found on tablet ‘Keiti’ (text E) that repeats itself 10 times, consisting of almost equal lengths of glyphs of similar designs, which may gradually lead to an understanding of the textual content of the document. Expand
Linearity, Calligraphy and Syntax in the Rongorongo Script
Abstract The linear, calligraphic and syntactic observable attributes in rongorongo signs would point to the fact that they were not merely arranged ‘pretty pictures,’ rather than part of an… Expand
On a “kinetic”-like sequence in rongorongo tablet “Mamari”
Abstract The paper addresses the question of “kinetic”-like attributes observed on a choice of glyphs in rongorongo tablet “Mamari” (lines 9–10, side b, text C). This tablet, a medium-sized… Expand
The double-body glyphs and palaeographic chronology in the rongorongo script
In the rongorongo script we encounter many anthropomorphic glyphs with an enlarged body and a hole in the belly. Based primarily on structural evidence present in parallel passages, it is argued that… Expand
The Corpus Problem in the RongoRongo Studies
TLDR
Careful considerations based on a theoretical and practical framework show that a new transliteration system agreed by consensus needs to be implemented for the RR corpus problem, and engagement with corpus linguistics literature is deemed vital. Expand
Some Considerations about the Kohau Rongorongo Script in the Light of a Statistical Analysis of the ‘Santiago Staff’
TLDR
The evidence encountered so far supports the view that the hypothesis cannot be true for all the KRR text of the ‘SS,’ specifically for sequences other than the “XıYZ” type, leaving many doubts in the minds of epigraphers and suggesting flaws in the method of decipherment. Expand
