"Consecrate" is not the right keyword. After loop: "sabbath"
The 𐤒-𐤃-𐤔 keyword, meaning literally "to consecrate" or "to purify," denotes when the scope of a subroutine or loop terminates.
I suspect this is an interpolation by the Priestly editors. I propose emending to 𐤔𐤁𐤕 (i.e., SH-B-T, meaning literally 'to cease' or 'to rest').
For example (slightly revised from README.md):
The following 𐤏𐤁𐤅𐤓 loop prints out the first ~~ten~~ seven natural numbers:
𐤏𐤁𐤅𐤓 𐤌𐤎𐤐𐤓=𐤆׳,𐤌𐤎𐤐𐤓>=𐤀׳,𐤌𐤎𐤐𐤓=𐤌𐤎𐤐𐤓-𐤀׳: (note: upper limit set to paleo-YOD)
𐤄𐤃𐤐𐤎𐤇 𐤌𐤎𐤐𐤓
𐤔-𐤁-𐤕 ('cease'/'rest')
