The value of this property refers to the inscription in its entirety. Individual letters may display an orientation that goes against the overall orientation of the text. On writing direction and retrograde letters see [[index::Script]]. ''Boustrophedon'' only denominates inscriptions written in "classical" boustrophedon; texts written in reverse boustrophedon (with every second line being turned by 180°), where both lines ultimately have the same orientation, are filed as ''sinistroverse'' or ''dextroverse''. The direction in which an inscription is written may be difficult to determine on occasion – this is signfied by the term ''ambiguous''. ''Unknown'' is used only when it is not clear that the respective inscription represents proper script at all.

''Mixed'' means that the writer demonstrably turned the object during the application of one line, resulting in a change of writing direction. This is to be distinguished from cases where the letters in the inscription do not allow the direction in which has been written to be determined – this latter case signfied by the term ''ambiguous''. ''Unknown'' is used only when it is not clear that the respective inscription represents proper script at all.

Description: Specifies the direction of writing of the inscription.
Type: Text
Allows value: sinistroverse, dextroverse, mixed, boustrophedon, ambiguous, unknown

Commentary

The value of this property refers to the inscription in its entirety. Individual letters may display an orientation that goes against the overall orientation of the text. On writing direction and retrograde letters see Script. Boustrophedon only denominates inscriptions written in "classical" boustrophedon; texts written in reverse boustrophedon (with every second line being turned by 180°), where both lines ultimately have the same orientation, are filed as sinistroverse or dextroverse. Mixed means that the writer demonstrably turned the object during the application of one line, resulting in a change of writing direction. This is to be distinguished from cases where the letters in the inscription do not allow the direction in which has been written to be determined – this latter case signfied by the term ambiguous. Unknown is used only when it is not clear that the respective inscription represents proper script at all.
