--Orthographic emphasis of kōḍe bull-calf hieroglyph is on its tender age, youth; the cognate word is खोंड khōṇḍa m A young bull, a bullcalf.
-- खोंडा khōṇḍā m A कांबळा of which one end is formed into a cowl or hood; खुंडी khuṇḍī f A cloth doubled over and sewn at one end, forming a घोंगता, खोपा , or खोळ (an open or outspread shovel-form sack). Used in exposing grain in the market. Thus, the pannier on the 'unicorn' is a semantic determinant.
--खोंड khōṇḍa, खुंडी khuṇḍī A variety of जोंधळा.जोंधळा jōndhaḷā m A cereal plant or its grain, Holcus sorghum. Eight varieties are reckoned, viz. उता- वळी, निळवा, शाळू, रातडी, पिवळा जोंधळा, खुंडी, काळबोंडी जोंधळा, दूध मोगरा . There are however many others as केळी, अरगडी, डुकरी, बेंदरी, मडगूप &38;c.; दगडी जोंधळा dagaḍī jōndhaḷā m or शाळू f A variety of the corn जोंधळा . Its ear is hard and close-filled.
Mari priest carries a standard in a procession. The standard is composed of the culm of millet or of holcus sorghum. One-horned young bull adorns the pedestal of the flagstaff carried by the priest. The underlying Meluhha word signified is: खोंड khōṇḍa which has three meanings: holcus sorghum, pannier, bull-calf. These semantics explain the unique orthography of the unicorn which is a young bull-calf, has a pannier on its shoulder and the flagstaff used to carry the unicorn standard in a Mari procession is the culm of millet or holcus sorghum which is खोंड khōṇḍa, a variety of corn.
The images from Mari procession clearly demonstrate that they were Meluhha speakers who tried to convey the underlying Meluhha semantics of youth of the bull-calf and the pannier on the bull-calf's shoulder. The one-horn is a semantic determinative for a closely homonymous word koḍ 'horn' rebus: koḍ 'workshop'.
Hundreds of seals of Indus Script Corpora show these orthographic components to be concordant with the semantics -- pannier, youth -- of the 'unicorn' vividly:
