Text of 3 signs

Decipherment of the Indus Script inscription on h182 Harappa tablet & another identical tablet

Sign 403 is a duplication of  bun-ingot shape. This shape is signified on a zebu terracotta pratimā found at Harappa and is consistent with mūhā mẽṛhẽt process of making unique bun-shaped ingots (See Santali expression and meaning described below):

Sign 403 is read: dul mūhā mẽṛhẽt 'cast iron ingot'.  mūhā mẽṛhẽt = iron smelted by the Kolhes and formed into an equilateral lump a little pointed at each of four ends (Santali)

The pictorial motif and text message together signify rebus rendering of the following expressions: 

jasta, sattva mund 'svastika, 'zinc' assembly'; 

dul mũhã̄ कर्ण karṇa metal casting zinc ingot account

Pictorial motif of five svastika and tiger

jasta, sattva 'svastika glyph' rebus jasta, sattva 'zinc' PLUS mōṝẽ 'five' rebus munda 'Toda village or assembly'

Text message on h182

karṇī, 'Supercargo responsible for cargo of a merchant vessel'; karṇika 'scribe, account'.

-- kol 'tiger' rebus kol 'alloy of five metals' kol 'working in iron', five, mōṝẽ svastika Indus Script hypertext  signifies assembly, mondir temple

--Tiger, drummer, five svastika signify mōṝẽ 'five' rebus mandari 'drummer' munda 'Toda village or assembly'  mondir 'temple.

Sign 403 is a duplication of 'oval or rhombus' hieroglyph Sign 267 which has the shape of a bun ingot: mũhã̄ 'bun ingot' . Duplication signifies dula 'two' rebus: dul 'metal casting'. Thus Sign 403 reads: dul mũhã̄ ' metal casting, bun ingot'. The bun ingots are a little pointed at each end. The semantics of this shape feature is provided in the Santali word: Rebus: mũh ‘(copper) ingot’ (Santali) mũhã̄ = the quantity of iron produced at one time in a native smelting furnace of the Kolhes; iron produced by the Kolhes and formed like a four-cornered piece a little pointed at each end (Santali) Allographs: mũhe ‘face’ (Santali) The little pointed ends at each side is like a pointed nose: Ta. mūkku nose, nostril, beak, nose-shaped part of anything; mūkkaṉ man with a large or prominent nose; mukarai, mukari bottom of the nose. Ma. mūkku nose, nozzle, beak; mūkkan long-nosed. Ko. mu·k nose, funnel of bellows; mu·kn man with long nose; fem. mu·ky. To. mu·k nose (in songs); mu·ku·ṛ- (mu·ku·ṛy-) to meet (of persons, rivers); mu·ku·ṭ- (mu·ku·ṭy-) to cause to meet; ? mu·kuṟ- (mu·kuṟy-) (person, ceremony) approaches. Ka.mūgu, mū nose, forepart, snout, beak, nozzle; mūga, mūgi man with a nose. Koḍ. mu·kï nose. Tu. mūku, mūgu, mūṅku nose, beak; mūke man who snuffles or speaks through the nose; fem. mūki. Te. mukku nose, beak, end, point, tip. Kol. muŋgaḍ, (Kin.) mukk, (SR.) mukku nose. Nk. muŋgaṛ id. Nk.

This semantics is reinforced by the two linear strokes || dula 'two' rebus: dul 'metal casting'

The third sign of the text is a rim-of-jar Sign 342.

Mohenjo-daro. Square seal depicting a nude male deity with three faces, seated in yogic position on a throne, wearing bangles on both arms and an elaborate headdress. Five symbols of the Indus script appear on either side of the headdress which is made of two outward projecting buffalo style curved horns, with two upward projecting points. A single branch with three pipal leaves rises from the middle of the headdress. 

Seven bangles are depicted on the left arm and six on the right, with the hands resting on the knees. The heels are pressed together under the groin and the feet project beyond the edge of the throne. The feet of the throne are carved with the hoof of a bovine as is seen on the bull and unicorn seals. The seal may not have been fired, but the stone is very hard. A grooved and perforated boss is present on the back of the seal.

Bloomsfield, American Journal of Philology, 11, 355; 12,416; Roth, Festgruss an Bohtlingk,98) denotes it as a twig. This is identified as that of Badari_, the jujube tied to the body of the dead to efface their traces.

The venerated, person seated in a type of penance has been rendered in Indus Script cipher as kamaDha 'penance' (Prakritam) Rebus: kammaTTa 'coiner, mint'. What did the kneeling adorant as Signs 45 and 46 signifY? I have suggested the cipher: bhaTa 'worshipper' rebus: bhaTa 'furnace'.

Ganeriwala is situated near the Indian border on the dry river bed of the Ghaggar-Hakra (also called the Sarasvati River), now a part of vast desert. It is spread over 80 hectares and comparable in size with the largest sites of the Indus Valley Civilization, such as Mohenjo-daro. A terrecotta tablet is a significant find. In this seal, a cross legged person (suggested as yogic posture) and a kneeling person below a tree and upon a tree are depicted. Such kneeling persons on tree, particularly in front of a tiger like animal, are shown in tablets or seals found at Harappa (H 163 a), Mohenjadaro(M 309 a) and Kalibangan (K 49a).  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganeriwala

Excerpts from a recent report (Dr. Vasant Shinde and Dr. Rick Willis) on copper plates with Indus script inscriptions:"The copper plates described in this article are believed to date from the Mature Harappan period, 2600–1900 BC. They were given to the second author in 2011, who realized that the plates were unusual, as they were large and robust, and bore mirrored Indus script as found in seals, but the inscriptions were relatively finely incised and unlikely capable of leaving satisfactory impressions, as with a seal...The copper plates superficially resemble large Indus Valley seals, as seven of the plates bear an image of an animal or person, plus reversed text. Two of the copper plates bear only mirrored Indus characters boldly engraved in two rows. The plates are illustrated in Figure 2...

• kamaḍha ‘penance’ Rebus: kammaṭa ‘mint, coiner’. 
• koḍ = horns (Santali); koḍ ‘workshop’ (G.)
• Pair of fishes (hieroglyph on the chest of the seated person): dula 'pair' Rebus: dul 'cast metal' ayo 'fish' Rebus: ayas 'metal alloy'; aya'iron' (Gujarati). Thus dul aya 'cast metal alloy'.

Text on obverse of the tablet m453A: Text 1629. m453BC Seated in penance, the person is flanked on either side by a kneeling adorant, offering a pot and a hooded serpent rearing up. 

Glyph: kaṇḍo ‘stool’. Rebus; kaṇḍ ‘furnace’. Vikalpa: kaṇḍ ‘stone (ore) metal’.  Rebus: kamaḍha ‘penance’. Rebus 1: kaṇḍ ‘stone ore’. Rebus 2: kampaṭṭa ‘mint’. Glyph: ‘serpent hood’: paṭa. Rebus: pata ‘sharpness (of knife), tempered (metal). padm ‘tempered iron’ (Ko.) Glyph: rimless pot: baṭa. Rebus: bhaṭa ‘smelter, furnace’. It appears that the message of the glyphics is about a mint  or metal workshop which produces sharpened, tempered iron (stone ore) using a furnace.

The suggested rebus readings indicate that the Indus writing served the purpose of artisans/traders to create metalware, stoneware, mineral catalogs -- products with which they carried on their life-activities in an evolving Bronze Age.

The squirrel sign signifies 'šē̃ṣṭrĭ̄ ʻflying squirrelʼ, rebus 'šē̃ṣṭrĭ̄ ʻguild master';  سیټه seṯṯh, s.m. (5th) A banker, a merchant.
