Commentary
Five-sign retrograde graffito from Drama-Kajrjaka, Bulgaria: DA-DU-*301̣-[?]-[?]. Fol and Schmitt compare only the first three signs with Linear A; the final two remain unread. RILA-S1 D 24 classifies the inscription as doubtful. DA-DU recurs initially in KN Zf 31 and HT 95. With *301 = /na/, /dādu-nā-/ ‘our beloved …’ is morphologically possible, but this is neither a complete word nor a secure prayer.
