**Status: resolved.** Listed among the resolved values of the sign table.

## Phonetic value

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Value | /ta/ |
| Alternates | none |
| Linear B | B 66, value ta₂ |
| Neutralization class | none |

### Forms cited for the value

- Linear B \*66 = ta₂
- Same word with TA₂ and TA: \*312-TA₂ GRA+PA 40 (ZA6b) ~ \*312-TA 6 ¹⁄₂ (HT10b)
- KI-RE-TA₂ = krt 'Kret' (Crete, d=0.000)
- Palaeographic split confirmed: TA₂ and TA co-occur in TA₂-TA-RE on PK1

### Note

Palaeographic split with TA confirmed by PK1 co-occurrence. A t- value is secure; /ta/ against Linear B /tja/ is open (possibly palatalized, emphatic, or interdental).
