What 𐀸 means
It writes the syllable we inside a larger spelling. Linear B was adapted from Linear A to write Mycenaean Greek. So 𐀸 records a sound, not a word with one fixed translation; the complete spelling may name a person, a material, a time expression, or an administrative entry.
Linear B appears on palace administrative tablets. The Iklaina tablet, dated ca. 1450–1400 BCE, is the earliest known Linear B tablet from mainland Greece. B075's first appearance has no securely established date as of 2026.
How does 𐀸 work in a spelling?
It belongs to a series that marks different w-syllables. Linear B has a w-series: 𐀷 is wa, 𐀸 is we, 𐀹 is wi, and 𐀺 is wo. The changing vowel distinguishes the syllables; longer spellings and their tablet context supply the entry's meaning.
