There is first a scan of a "syllabic" table excerpt from the original Microsoft Word manuscript -- the links there are not clickable because it is one image.
That image is followed by the original text -- the links there are clickable -- but you can not see the Aegean Fonts or images embedded in Microsoft Word, as these do not resolve in Blogger, so you will see some "filler" material. After I get all the syllables online, I will clean up the individual pages by making images of the various signs and uploading them to eliminate the current text resolution deficiencies, but it is a massive amount of tedious extra graphics work, so I am not doing it right now, as it is not essential for online purposes. One can see the full grid for the syllable on the scanned image.

CHANGED HEADINGS | CHANGED | CHANGED HEADINGS | CHANGED | |||
Syllabic Value of the Sign (Symbol) | Cypriot Syllabary | Linear B (Ventris etc.) | Linear B Vowel Signs | Cyprian VOWELS | Egyptian hieroglyphs | Sumerian pictographs |
A (“ah”) א - Alef This vowel placement merely highlights some observations and is not and can not be like the convincing analysis of the previous syllables, for the Phaistos Disk has no vowel signs at all, so that full-fledged vowels must have developed later at other locations. | Cyprian W-Signs _______ There seems to be a genetic relationship between the W-based syllables and the vowels. | Linear B W-Signs _______ There seems to be a genetic relationship between the W-based syllables and the vowels. | Linear B VOWELS ��(08) “A” The vowel “A” as in “ah” | Cypriot Syllabary signs show how the vowel sound is made “A” �� The vowel “A” The mouth is “full, open, even” “A” is LABIAL | Egyptian “A” „J“ LABIAL | Sumerian “A3” “arms, side” covers all: “A, WA, WE, WI, WU” |
AE from an original AE ה - He “house, dwelling place” Latvian ēka „large building, edifice, hall” „power, dominion” | Cypriot syllabary �� WA Luwian has Linear B WA upside down for “dominion” | Linear B ��(54) WA A rectangular “temple” dominion | Linear B ��(38) “E” The vowel “E” A rounded “temple” dominion | Cyprian vowel “E” �� The vowel “E” The mouth is “full, open”, plus more from the throat or side” “E” is PHARYNGEAL | Egyptian “dominion” “AE” PHARYNGEAL | Sumerian “E” “temple, house, go in or out” dominion” |
E, I י – Yod (Yad is Hebrew for “hand”) “with stout fibers” ? These signs point to a concept related to “hand”. Latvian iedot “in give” and ieņem “in take” may provide a clue | Cypriot syllabary �� WI | Linear B ��(75) WE | Linear B ��(28) “I” The vowel “I” | Cyprian vowel “I” �� The vowel “I” “less full or open, and more from the top” “I” IS UVULAR | Egyptian “the arm” “IE” UVULAR | Sumerian “I” “five” surely as “hand, arm” |
I, O ו - Waw that which one has as possessions or property inside the house (compare to the next vowel) | Cypriot syllabary �� WE | Linear B ��(40) WI one sees the “I” within the tent-like sign | Linear B ��(61) “O” The vowel “O” | Cyprian vowel “O” �� The vowel “O” “toward the bottom” “O” is VELAR” | Egyptian “OO” “W” VELAR | Sumerian There was no “O” in Sumerian. Its O and U sound as in Latvian “O” was perhaps an UO dipthong. |
O, U ו - Waw house, roof or eye over one’s head (that which one has a domicile) one's own substance, property, outside the house, i.e. the dwelling | Cypriot syllabary �� WO “house, roof or eye over one’s head” (outside) | Linear B ��(42) WO having an eye on one’s domicile” | Linear B ��(10) “U” The vowel “U” “raised high” | Cyprian vowel “U” �� The vowel “U” “mostly closed and the lips out” “raised high” “U” is a HIGH BACK CLOSE VOWEL | Sumerian Ú U5, U11 “raised high” Latvian UZ “on, above” | Sumerian U3, U7 “having an eye on one’s domicile” |
