# KO(?) Zf 2 A Linear A document: bronze bowl from Kophinas (?). - Site: Kophinas (?) - Object: Bronze bowl - Findspot: Kophinas (?) - Edition: [GORILA IV]() ## Text 1. A-RA-KO-KU-QA-WA-SA-TO-MA-RO-AU-TA-DE-PO-NI-ZA ## Translation - Tier: Speculative - Status: incomplete [Continuous inscription, unread but for the personal name Tōmar ('Palm').] ## Word by word | Word | Reading | Gloss | Tier | |---|---|---|---| | Ạ-RẠ-KỌ-KU-QA-WA-SA-TO-MA-RO-AU-TA-DE-PO-NI-ZA | | unsegmented continuous inscription | Speculative | ## Commentary GORILA IV 158–159 records a bronze bowl and prints all sixteen signs without dividers; the attribution KO(?) is uncertain. TO-MA-RO reads Tōmar, a palm name (Amorite Tamar-u, Ugaritic tmr, Hebrew Tāmār); the rest of the sequence is unread. Woudhuizen (2016, 230–31) divides the same sequence differently, independently illustrating the segmentation problem. ## Epigraphic note Vessel inscription; scriptio continua GORILA IV 158–159: bronze bowl (bol en bronze), Khania M. 385. The attribution KO(?) is itself uncertain. No dividers occur: the entire sixteen-sign text is scriptio continua, and A, RA and KO are dotted in both GORILA transcriptions. Sign 5 is QA in both, as Woudhuizen 2016, 231 reads it; Younger reads ZU. Consequently, TO-MA-RO and every other proposed internal division remain editorial rather than epigraphically marked. ## Lexicon entries - [TO-MA-RO]() (Tōmar): personal name, 'palm'.
