What 𐜗 means
A622 is a catalogue label, not a translated word.
Linear A was a Minoan script for Bronze Age administrative records and ritual inscriptions. Its earliest evidence is placed in Middle Minoan IIA; its last reported attestation is about 1350 BCE.
It overlaps with Cretan Hieroglyphic; direct descent is debated, though some signs may have been adapted from it. Linear B later borrowed much of its sign repertoire.
