Pictures in LIR (drawings).
Length 8.3 cm / 9.5 cm respectively. The in laśanuale has two twigs; the leftmost one may be a failed attempt at either the twig of (not close enough to the hasta) or unintentional – a similar small stroke, without white inlay, precedes the first stroke of in upiku at the top of the line. No white inlay in the last punctuation mark.
