What 𐀓 means
It writes the syllable ku, ending in a vowel.
Linear B was adapted from the earlier Linear A script to record Mycenaean Greek, an early form of Greek. Its oldest surviving tablet group at Knossos is conventionally dated around 1450 BCE.
Clay tablets from palace centers on Crete and mainland Greece record goods, people, and transactions. In a word spelling, 𐀓 contributes ku; beside a sign for a whole word, it can add a sound cue or qualify that sign. In an administrative note, KU can abbreviate ku-mi-no, the Linear B spelling conventionally associated with cumin.
