Question 91

On an inscription, the human and animal signs face right. In which direction should a reader normally begin that line?

  1. At the bottom, reading upward only
  2. At whichever end has the most signs
  3. At the right, reading toward the leftBonne réponse
  4. At the left, because all texts run rightward

Explication

Living signs generally look toward the beginning, so right-facing figures direct the reader to start at the right and proceed leftward. Automatically reading from the left would impose a modern convention on a script that could run in more than one direction.
