102 reviewsThe object of this paper is deciphering of Cretan Linear A inscriptions spread mainly across the
Aegean area.
1. The paper presents a brief background of the ancient population of the Peloponnese, Asia
Minor and the Aegean islands before the Indo-European migrations.
It is supposed that the indigenous inhabitants of this area were of non-Indo-European and
non-Semitic origin.
2. The study of the linguistic material and graphical qualities of Linear A, and the phonetic
reading of Linear B script by M. Ventris, granted the correctness of my decipherment of
Linear A inscriptions in the Common Kartvelian.
Some of the deciphered Linear A words are the following:
a. Words for numeral operations: (addition) ku-ro – “to bind, gather, collect, add”, and
(subtraction) ki-ro – “fault, defect; to subtract, lessen, diminish, cut off”;
b. Names of vessels for liquid – qa-pa3, ka-ti, and ka-di;
c. The toponyms and anthroponyms: pa-i-to – “Phaistos”; a-ja – “Aea”; ku-ta- –
“Cyta[ea]”; ku-ku-da-ra – “a Colchian person”; ma-ka-ri-te – “the island of
Macris/Euboea (Macrean or Macrones tribe)”.
