# TI

> Linear A logogram TI, proposed: figs (abbreviation of TI-NI).

A page of the Linear A Lexicon's research wiki, in [Wiki](<https://linear-a.ai/wiki/index.md>) › [Kaphtor Lexicon](<https://linear-a.ai/wiki/lexicon/index.md>) › [Signs](<https://linear-a.ai/wiki/lexicon/signs/index.md>) › [Logograms](<https://linear-a.ai/wiki/lexicon/signs/logograms/index.md>). Updated 2026-10-24.

**Status: proposed.** A proposed value.

Evidence: TI 7 is summed with persons in the KU-RO of HT119; TI-NI is rejected

## Logogram

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Gloss | figs (abbreviation of TI-NI) |
| Commodity | TIʔIN |
| Semitic term | \*tiʔin- (PS SED I #260), Akkadian tittu/tiʔittu/tīnātu, Ugaritic tʔn, Hebrew tǝʔēnā, Arabic tīn-, Phoenician (unvocalized) |
| Root | t-ʔ-n |

### Note

Dual-function sign: syllabogram /ti/ (AB04) + logogram TIʔIN when standalone with quantities. Abbreviation of TI-NI = tiʔin 'figs' (Candidate, lexicon). 12 standalone across 11 tablets, 6 sites. 58% followed by numerals. Quantities: ¼, 1, 2, 7, 13, 13, 100. Key evidence: ZA12a/b commodity cluster (TI 13 on both faces alongside PA and RU); PH30 fractional quantity (TI ¼); HT154 bulk quantity (\*516 TI 100). Pan-Semitic \*tiʔin- attestation (Akk, Ug, Heb, Ar, Phoen) confirms figs as inherited core vocabulary. Appears in Deut 8:8 Seven Species. Pictographic evidence absent (AB04 is not botanical), but the TI-NI compound provides the semantic anchor.

## Also in syllabic

[TI](<https://linear-a.ai/wiki/lexicon/signs/syllabic/TI/index.md>) has a syllabic record.
