Note:
Hatti is surely Kheta, as the Luvian sign read as HÁ is likely KE (viz. KĀ).
(continued from KA Luvian Update)
This posting updates the series started here by adding Luvian (also spelled Luwian, formerly Hieroglyphic Hittite) to the syllabic grid for the syllable KE originally published at 53 - The Syllable KE : Origins of Writing in Western Civilization and the Kaulins Minoan Aegean Sign Concordance (MinAegCon™): A Syllabic Grid of Mycenaean Greek Linear B Script, the Cypriot Syllabary, the Phaistos Disk, two Old Elamite Scripts, the Inscription on the Axe of Arkalochori, and Comparable Signs from Sumerian Pictographs and Egyptian Hieroglyphs
and the update at 53A.
If I have found no comparable Luvian syllable in mainstream sources, there is no update posting for that syllable. This applies particularly to syllables with the vowel "O", which predecessor Sumerian did not have (apparently also not in Luvian). Syllables with the vowel "E" are alleged by Luvian scholars not to have been used for Luvian, though I think otherwise. My research indicates that also Luvian had "consonant plus vowel E" (or similar sound) syllables and I include them if I have been able to identify them (provisionally, of course, subject to ultimate confirmation).
Each syllable will be presented in its own posting.
There is first a scanned image of a "syllabic" grid excerpt from the original Microsoft Word manuscript -- the links there are not clickable because it is one image.
The original text follows -- the links there are clickable -- but embedded fonts or images may be missing because Blogger does not pick them all up from Microsoft Word, so use the scanned image for those.
The Syllable KE plus Luvian in the Minoan Aegean Sign Concordance (by Andis Kaulins)
KE κέλευθος “passage” The Linear B signs B44 (KE) and B45 (DE) are similar to the following siphon apparatus used to collect (“in passage”) fermented wine or brewed beer in Ancient Egypt. It is part of a larger installation found below at a thumb of an image seen at “boatswain” is nearly homophonic | Cypriot syllabary � � KE This is the oar and boat sign plus a rudder. It can thus only represent “boatswain, who gives the time to the rowers” which is a nearly homophonic term with "passage" | Linear B � �(44) KE "passage" See discussion in the first column Winepress Modern German KELTER for wine Luvian Kheta Are the Luvian Kheta (Khelta) the later so- called Kaldu, | Phaistos Disk � � KE "cedar tree" The cedar may be connected to objects in other KE syllabary signs in logical concept as the particular wood out of which they were made. Cedar was used to make boats. | No comparable Axe sign _______ 3 related signs of the Cypriot Syllabary � � RI "rowers, oars" � � NI "boat" the water surface is the horizontal line � � KE “boatswain – rudderer” | No Elamite sign yet _______ Egyptian “beer” hQT incorrectly transliterated The correct hieroglyph reading is LO-KELTE “ale KElter” = κέλευθος (“passage”) = fluid brewing. | Sumerian KURUN QAR GAR2 KAR3 Said to be “hair” but perhaps an apparatus as in 1st column Luvian h HÁ "KHETA" |
