2 Minoan Linear A words under SI-SU of possible proto-Greek and 1 of probable proto-Semitic origin

2 Minoan Linear A words under SI-SU of possible proto-Greek and 1 of probable proto-Semitic origin:



In this table, two of the words are quite likely of proto-Greek origin, while the third, SURIA, probably means “Syria”, especially in light of the fact that since approximately 10,000 BC, Syria was one of the Neolithic centres of culture (known as Pre-Pottery Neolithic A), where agriculture and cattle breeding appeared for the first time in the world. 

This brings our cumulative total of Minoan Linear A words of proto-Greek, proto-Hebrew and proto-Semitic origin to 46.
