Cuenca 1994:102

"La inscripción (…) consita de al menos nueve signos alfabetiformes del tipo lÃbico-bereber. La inscripción tiene un sentido vertical en do o tres lÃneas"
CHEC 1997:
" Los signos (…) 'lÃbico-bereberes', o, si se prefiere una denominación más culta, lÃbico-amazigh, asà como los 10 y 11 no publicados hasta este momento. Todos ellos de factura prehispánica" |
