·    The variant which looks like o is still just a proposal, in Gronemeyer-FtG. Do not confuse it with o and TE’:

o In Gronemeyer-FtG.p9.fig9a&c it does indeed look like o; however, o often has a cross-hatched area at the end of the feather, which is absent in this one.

o Gronemeyer himself says that this one is very tentative and might in fact be a o after all. If it is a t’a, then he proposes that the “depressed man” glyph be read T’AL.

o In Gronemeyer-FtG.p9.fig9b it looks slightly like TE’.

·    TOK.p16.r4.c3 lists the “tooth + torch” glyph without pronunciation (and so there is no indication if it is a syllabogram or logogram), but BMM9.p6 gives a tentative reading as t’a. The original source of the proposal is not known to me.
