Expert Answer
The Harappan script is called enigmatic because of the following reasons:
- Most inscriptions were short, the longest contained about 26 signs, each sign stood for a vowel or consonant. Sometimes it contained wider space, sometimes shorter, had no consistency. Till today, the script remains undeciphered.
- The script was non-alphabetical, it had many signs, somewhere between 375 and 400. It was written from right to left.
- In the script, the motif conveyed a meaning to those who could not read.
