What 𐀑 means
It marks one syllable, not a complete word. Scholars conventionally transcribe its reading as “ki.” Linear B used signs like this to spell Mycenaean Greek in palace records.
The related Linear A sign AB 67 (𐘸) is conventionally read “ki,” although the language written in Linear A remains undeciphered as of 2026. Its earliest attestations are on accounting records from Phaistos dated to Middle Minoan IIB, a period on Minoan Crete. AB 67 is treated as a Linear A innovation, with no established predecessor in Cretan Hieroglyphic, an earlier Cretan script, as of 2026. Linear B adapted syllabograms from Linear A for palace inventories.
