# Worked example: a damaged inscription has many defensible readings (, P9).
# An gmeow:Inscription sits on a physical gmeow:carrierType (tablet, coin, seal …).
# Reading it is not a fact but a reified gmeow:InscriptionReading — an Observation
# with its own vantage and method — so two epigraphers' transcriptions of the same
# worn marks COEXIST, neither privileged. A gmeow:ScriptLanguageAttribution
# (cuneiform / Akkadian) is likewise a vantage-scoped claim, not a settled label.
