42 - The Syllable DA : 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 42nd posting in this series (which started here), and presents the Syllable DA 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 DA in the Minoan Aegean Sign Concordance (by Andis Kaulins)

DA
"divide, division, fork (in
a path, way or road)"
Note that two similar
signs on the Axe of
Arkalochori thought to
be the same syllable are
not the same sign. One
is DA and the other is
SE. The signs as others
see them are; I allege,
based on photographs
made of an erroneous
simplified copy of the
axe. A photo of the
original axe shows this,
as later proven after
presentation of this grid.
