Variant: wood property
MC K&H = JM
TOK.p13.r4.c2
Sub-variants (2) · A. Flint: o Both ends: 3-4 longish ticks o Middle: slightly curved band with two touching dots on one side · B. Boulder: similar to the flint form but the curved band is always vertical, and with a bold ceiling.
Notes · Do not confuse the flint variant of su with te, which also has “whiskers”. o te has “whiskers” in one half only, whereas su has “whiskers” at both the extremities. o te has only two “whiskers” wherever there are “whiskers”, whereas su has three or more “whiskers”. · Do not confuse the boulder variant of su with the full variant of sa: o sa has two symmetrically placed “combs” with a double vertical band between them whereas su has only a single vertical band separating the two halves with “whiskers” (which only superficially resemble the combs of sa). o sa has dots at the end of each tooth of the comb whereas su has no dots at the end of each “whisker”. o sa has no dots associated with the double vertical bands down the middle whereas su has two touching dots on one side of the single vertical band.
