39 - The Syllable TI : Origins of Writing in Western Civilization and the Kaulins Minoan Aegean Sign Concordance (MinAegCon™): A Syllabic Grid of Mycenaean Greek Linear B Script, the Cypriot Syllabary, the Phaistos Disk, two Old Elamite Scripts, the Inscription on the Axe of Arkalochori, and Comparable Signs from Sumerian Pictographs and Egyptian Hieroglyphs

This is the 39th posting in this series (which started here), and presents the Syllable TI in the Syllabic Grid. Each syllable is presented in its own posting.

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 TI in the Minoan Aegean Sign Concordance (by Andis Kaulins)

 

TI This sign represents a θύρσος viz.θύρσα, (thyrsus viz. thyrsos) "a wand wreathed in ivy and vine-leaves with a pine-cone at the top". Linear B 𐀞 𐀳 thus for example reads PA-THYR, Greek πατήρ pater "father" and not merely PA-TE (without the R) as currently thought.

Cypriot syllabary: 𐠯 TI A Thyrsos from Thor's Hammer Woodcraft.

Linear B 𐀳(04) TE THY THYR The thyrsus sign represents a staff and the windings around the staff.

Phaistos Disk 𐇴 θύρσος θύρσα  is "a wand wreathed in ivy and vine- leaves with a pine-cone at the top, carried by the devotees of Dionysus".
