https://tinyurl.com/yd5psfo9 wherein the hare + thorny bush is read rebus: kaṇḍho 'thorn' rebus: kaṇṭho, kaṭrā market town. Together with hare: kharā 'hare' rebus: khār 'blacksmith', the reading of hypertext is: khār kantho 'blacksmith market town'.
It is also possible to read the hypertext on the following copper tablets as: Thorny bush: kaṇḍiru ʻ, kã̄ṭī, kāˊṇḍ rebus: khaṇḍa 'implements'. Thus, hare + thorny bush is read a hypertext: khāra
'blacksmith' + khaṇḍa 'implements' +
kantho 'market town', i.e. blacksmith implements town.
