'glove'(4), 'stem/horn'(3), 'walker'(2), 'sack'(2), 'bush', 'corner', 'nabla',

Word statistics:

Longest words on side A contain 7 symbols, shortest ones contain 2 symbols.
Longest words on side B contain 5 symbols, shortest one contains 2 symbols.
4 words on A are used twice. 1 word on A is used 3 times. 3 of 5 repetitions 
ignore direction of symbols.
1 word on B is used twice (ignoring direction of slash) or 3 times (ignoring 
ending 'bipod').

Thoughts:

Having as much as 2 symbols in shortest word and only 45 different signs is 
strange for syllabary. If there is literal alphabet then some symbols may be 
abbreviations (or digits).
Beginning of 'Odyssey' has 4.6 letters per word, or 4.4 if diphthong is one 
letter, or 3.2 if use syllabary (so disk isn't Greek if it uses syllabary).
Side B (excluding last word) is perhaps in another language than side A - see 
'hairyhead' statistics.
