 +N<sub>51g</sub> and N<sub>54g</sub> are only attested in one text (see [[http://cdli.ucla.edu/P009371 |MDP 31, 031]]). N<sub>51</sub>, counting low-status humans and animals, is found in five texts ([[http://cdli.ucla.edu/P008179|MDP 06, 399]]; [[http://cdli.ucla.edu/P008473|MDP 17, 275]]; [[http://cdli.ucla.edu/P008844|MDP 26, 156]]; [[http://cdli.ucla.edu/P008848|MDP 26, 160]]; [[http://cdli.ucla.edu/P008893|MDP 26, 205]]).\\ 
 +N<sub>23</sub> is also used as a nonnumerical sign with the value [[http://cdli.ucla.edu/search/search_results.php?SearchMode=Text&requestFrom=Search&Period=proto-Elamite&TextSearch=M387+|M387]]. Many variants of [[http://cdli.ucla.edu/search/search_results.php?SearchMode=Text&requestFrom=Search&Period=proto-Elamite&TextSearch=M387~|M387 are know]], with approximately similar usage.
