A UT Information Science student, Will Martin, has come up with what I think is an ingenious way to reference glyphs. Will uses a tag cloud to associate words with the pictures in the glyphs. So, if you're trying to find out what a glyph with, say, an alligator in it means, you simply visit Will's tag cloud and click on "alligator," at which point all the glyphs containing alligators will show up. This seems to me like a really useful and intuitive way to use our alphabetic system to reference a glyphic system, like the Egyptian one here, when the user is unfamiliar with the glyphic system at hand.
