Mycenaean Greek
Pronunciation
Letter
π (pa)
- The Linear B syllabic letter ⟨pa⟩.
- An adjunct to π (MUL) 'woman' and π§ (TELA) 'cloth', meaning unconfirmed but possibly an abbreviation of Mycenaean Greek ππ¨π (pa-ra-jo), which is thought to be cognate with Ancient Greek ΟαλαιΟΟ (palaiΓ³s) 'old'
- A possible adjunct to glyphs of domestic animals to make them male: π (EQUm) stallion, π (OVISm) ram, π (CAPm) billy-goat, π (SUSm) boar, π (BOSm) bull. As an adjunct this would mean nothing in Greek, so it is likely to be a retention from Minoan.
- A logogram before numerals; meaning unknown.
