Abstract
I have argued in this journal that the Linear A element (-)du-pu2-re should be rendered as ‘ruler, master (dat.)’ (vel sim.). This reading may now help explain syllabogram A51 du in light of the acrophonic principle. I will attempt to demonstrate that the sign in question evolved from the idealized depiction of a Minoan leader: a man holding a staff or crook.File in questo prodotto:
