Abstract

This article discusses the different forms of word separation in Lycian inscriptions, framing patterns of graphic separation in a neuro-psychological context. A new approach is introduced which offers an explanation to inscriptions that have so far been deemed inconsistent or non-compliant with orthographic rules.

Keywords: Lycian inscriptions, word separation, neuro-psychology of writing
