## Commentary

Four Linear A attestations behave as a personal name. Linear B pa-ja-ro is a masculine personal name in KN As(2) 1519.6 and is compared with PA-JA-RE by DMic and Davis 2026. Gordon's Egyptian Pꜣy-Rꜥ 'He-of-Re' (Gordon 1966a, 31) is the man's name pꜣ-rꜥ in PNM v6, used from Thutmose III to Amenhotep III and spelled pꜣjj-rꜥ under Hatshepsut (Ilin-Tomich 2025). See the lexicon entry.
