# \*412

> Linear A logogram *412, proposed: bowl, basin (large open vessel for liquids).

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: \*412+E beside \*659 = \*412VAS+F (MA10a/c): the slot takes a fraction sign

## Logogram

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Gloss | bowl, basin (large open vessel for liquids) |
| Commodity | ʔIGĀN |
| Semitic term | \*ʔigān- (PS #1358), Akkadian agannu, Hebrew ʔaggān, Arabic ʔiggānat- |
| Root | ʔ-g-n |

### Note

Commodity ideogram on MA10 4-sided bar (all 4 faces) alongside \*413+SU, \*405+Ω, \*402+A, \*414+F—a catalog of complemented ideograms. PS \*ʔigān- 'cup, bowl': Arabic preserves /i/-class vowel (ʔiggānat-); NWS /i/→/ē/ lowering yields /ʔēgān/; aleph drops → complement E = /ʔē-/. Hebrew shifted to /a/ (ʔaggān, Exod 24:6, Song 7:3, Isa 22:24). PH9b \*412-VS-VIN = wine bowl. Distinct from \*406VAS=KĀS (cup)—ʔaggān is larger basin type. TI+\*412VAS = subtype (TI prefix, cf. Linear B variety marking).
