summer haiku – the rainbow = l'arc-en-ciel 




the rainbow hues
he brushes on 
secrets of his soul

il est si zébré
de l'arc-en-ciel
où l'âme se cache

senryu – I fall in your arms = je tombe dans tes bras = sospiro ragazzo


senryu – I fall in your arms = je tombe dans tes bras = sospiro ragazzo




how I sigh my boy
if I fall in your arms
I fall a feather

je soupire mon garçon
si je tombe dans tes bras
j'y tombe une plume

sospiro ragazzo
se cado tra le tue braccia
cado una piuma

Minoan Linear A jedi = Mycenaean Linear B atoroqo = man/men, human


Minoan Linear A jedi = Mycenaean Linear B atoroqo = man/men, human:

Minoan Linear A jedi = man men

After wracking my brains out for at least 3 months, I have finally come to the belated conclusion that the Minoan Linear A word jedi = Mycenaean Linear B atoroqo = man/men, human. There is a reasonably good chance that this is correct (60% +), given the following factors:

(a) On the first tablet, HT 8, jedi immediately precedes the ID for “olives or olive oil” followed by the supersyllabogram KI, which almost certainly stands for kireta2 (kiretai) = Mycenaean Linear B apudosi = “delivery”. So the phrase appears to mean, “One man is preparing to deliver 10 (amphorae) of olive oil”.
(b) On the verso of the second tablet, HT 122, there are 40 jedi = Linear B atoroqo = man/men, human who are apparently counting the crop yield (qaqaru), where the total (kuro) of all items accounted for on this tablet is 65. 

Previous researchers have attributed a personal name to Jedi, but that interpretation is implausible.

This is term 103 I have deciphered, more or less accurately.
