There is first a scan of a "syllabic" table excerpt from the original Microsoft Word manuscript -- the links there are not clickable because it is one image.
That image is followed by the original text -- the links there are clickable -- but you can not see the Aegean Fonts or images embedded in Microsoft Word, as these do not resolve in Blogger, so you will see some "filler" material. After I get all the syllables online, I will clean up the individual pages by making images of the various signs and uploading them to eliminate the current text resolution deficiencies, but it is a massive amount of tedious extra graphics work, so I am not doing it right now, as it is not essential for online purposes. One can see the full grid for the syllable on the scanned image.
The Syllable DU in the Minoan Aegean Sign Concordance (by Andis Kaulins)
| DU "slavery, bondage" The tied arms of the prisoner viz. captive on the Phaistos Disc are abstracted in Linear B. and in the Cypriot syllabary, seemingly to represent the term δυσμενής "enemy" Various terms in the different languages focus on the act of “tieing” the captive or submission, or may denote the latter status of a prisoner,e.g. as a slave. That is why the terms may differ greatly in the dictionaries and lexicons. | Cypriot syllabary 𐠱 TU δυσμενής "enemy" Note: The Cypriot sign for TO is not slanted and has no double slashes right, and thus is surely not to be compared in origin with this sign. | Linear B (51) DU δυσμενής "enemy" | Phaistos Disk 𐇓 DU δυσμενής "enemy" as a tied man _________ Egyptian | No comparable Axe sign __________ Tied Warriors of Peleset _________ Sumerian The Sumerian has the hand sign and then the rib-like sign DU8 in combination for “captive”, are those rib- like elements “ties”? See last column. | No Elamite sign yet Egyptian Wikipedia: “Keftiu... defeated peoples, Abydos.” | Sumerian ŠU-DU8 „captive“ (hand+tie?) ŠU-DU3 XFTY “enemy” |
