Note

NOT A LINEAR A SIGN. AB75 WE occurs nowhere in the Linear A corpus or SigLA, and Unicode's Linear A block has no AB075; the value we is Linear B's. Gordon's two WE words are GORILA RI: DA-WE-DA = DA-RI-DA (HT 10a, 85a), MA-KA-WE-TE = MA-KA-RI-TE (HT 87). Do not propose WE in Linear A spellings.
