Linear A Sign A551

220/341

𐛛 is sign A551 in Linear A, probably created locally on Crete; as of 2026 it has no secure reading or translation. Around 1800–1450 BCE, Linear A was used for palace accounts and religious offerings. Linear B later derived from Linear A to write Mycenaean Greek, but that link does not decode A551.

Text symbol

What 𐛛 means

As of 2026, A551 has no secure reading or translation. Its label is a catalog identifier, not a transcription.

Linear A signs could represent syllables or objects, depending on context. Some Linear A sign shapes recur in Linear B, which records Mycenaean Greek, an early form of Greek; those similarities do not confirm A551’s sound.
