Linear A Sign A350

139/341

𐚊 is Linear A sign A350, but no ancient translation is established. Linear A appears on Bronze Age records and ritual objects; A350 survives in a single reported inscription. Today, A350 is a catalogue label, not a known word or pronunciation.

Text symbol

What 𐚊 means

No secure word meaning or pronunciation is known for A350. It is the modern catalogue label for a Linear A sign, not a readable translation. Linear A signs can represent syllables or whole words; researchers consider a sign's position and nearby numerals when assessing its role.

A350 is reported as a hapax—one occurrence—in the inscription labelled KH11. One scholarly proposal treats the mark as a muddled form of 𐘚, conventionally read as the vowel “i.” With only one occurrence, that comparison remains uncertain.

What was Linear A used for?

Linear A appears in records and on ritual objects. It is attested around 1800–1450 BCE, mainly on Crete and occasionally elsewhere in the Aegean. Clay tablets record transactions; stone, metal, and painted objects show religious or practical use. This setting tells us where the script appears, not what A350 meant.

Linear B was modeled on Linear A. Researchers compare similar signs to suggest approximate sound values, but shape alone does not establish a Linear B reading for A350.

Will 𐚊 look the same in every font?

Different fonts can draw this character differently. A font with Linear A coverage supplies its outline; one without that coverage may show a missing-glyph box.

A350 is a modern GORILA catalogue number, not an ancient name or reading. GORILA is a scholarly catalogue of Linear A inscriptions.

Specialist use: cataloguing Linear A signs, studying the script, and testing font support.

Don't treat “i” as a settled reading; it is only a proposal about the lone occurrence.
