Very little is known about the structure and syntax of early languages.
The inscription upon the pouch identification tag reveals the name and
tribe of its owner. The owner's name appears to be
"Memerexo For m a
tt ded"
of the
"Hi dencite"
tribe (quite possibly a chief or
priest). The
"1.44MB"
is, most certainly, geometric coordinates
which would have guided the finder of the lost pouch to the tribe of its
rightful owner. The
"maden Yapan"
portion is most likely the name
of the scribe who fashioned the inscription. The inscriber's "servitude"
would be indicated by the use of lower case letters in affixing his first
name to the chief's or priest's property. (Also, the term "
maden"
possible refers to a tribal female who may have been the servant-scribe).
The artifact has no other distinguishing characteristics further indicating
the simplicity of the hunting and gathering lifestyle.
