Linear B Lexicon (Chris Tselentis) D-I – as a template for words susceptible of translation into Minoan Linear A

Linear B Lexicon (Chris Tselentis) D-I - as a template for  words susceptible of translation into Minoan Linear A:



While I have managed to decipher 68 Minoan Linear A words more or less accurately to date, there remains a possibility that I may be able decipher a few more, but not many more. The only way I can do so is to rely on a primary source for Mycenaean Linear B vocabulary, and the source par excellence is Chris Tselentis’ Linear B Lexicon, the by far best lexicon of Linear B I have run across to date. We find below selected terms under A in his lexicon. Any of these words may still have the potential for unravelling a few new terms in Minoan Linear A. We shall continue with the rest of the alphabet in the next few posts.
