Abstract
Since the publication of my Square Script paper (Whaley 2003-2004), a number of coins with the inscription I worked on have surfaced in the intervening years which I was unable to include, the most significant being a coin discovered in 2004 during excavations at Kara Korum by the Mongolian Academy of Sciences and the Universitat Bonn, but not publicized until 2005.' Since the matter is still pertinent, I think to revisit my conclusions and add further details would be an interesting topic.

attached Whaley (2001) to Heidemann — Kelzenberg — Erdenebat — Pohl (2005) when the more germane work is Whaley (2003-2004), which he fails to observe in its proper context (and I find he has an unexpectedly slipshod bibliography, too).
