Rapanui Writing and the Rapanui Language: Preliminary Results of a Statistical Analysis
Konstantin Pozdniakov, Igor Pozdniakov, 2007. Forum for Anthropology and Culture 3.
Concludes from glyph statistics that 52 basic glyphs account for 99.7 per cent of the corpus, and compares glyph frequency distributions with syllable statistics of Rapanui to argue the script could be syllabic. Also shows that the four glyphs in Fischer's key example make up about a fifth of the corpus. Pages 3 to 36.
What it's used for here
Source for the 52-glyph inventory and for the statistical test of Fischer's reading.
