Which of the following statements are True for the Harappan script? A. It contains around 400 signs. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
A, D only A, B only B, C only B, D only |
A, B only |
The correct answer is Option (2) → A, B only Most inscriptions are short, the longest containing about 26 signs. Although the script remains undeciphered to date, it was evidently not alphabetical (where each sign stands for a vowel or a consonant) as it has just too many signs - somewhere between 375 and 400. It is apparent that the script was written from right to left as some seals show a wider spacing on the right and cramping on the left, as if the engraver began working from the right and then ran out of space. So, the correct option is [2]. |
