You should learn to spell what you're talking about. What
"decipherment"? Are you now going to claim that they record language and
not quantities?

Disclaimer: I don not know what Franz is going to claim or what "decipherment" is he talking about.

My claim: If lineal B is a script that recorded language (like "four sheep from the village XXX"), then the quippu system is also a graphic system that recorded language.

Really, I do not see any basic difference between the two systems, am I being short-sighted?

Or you can deny what goes beyond The Book. You chose
the latter option. In the Ancient Near East forum ANE you deny
that the quipa are a form of writing.


Do they record language?

We don't certainly know yet, but there are clues and ancient testimonies that, beside the accounting quipus, there were also quipus that told the stories of the Incas.
