/ʾa/*324-DI-RA = ʾaddīr "noble, mighty" (√ʾ-d-r)—PS *ʔaddīr-, Hebrew אַדִּיר (Ps 8:2, 93:4), Ugaritic adr (KTU 1.4 V 3); plain A already writes /ʔa/

Forms cited for the value

  • Linear A has no SO sign (0 SO tokens; Linear B *12 so has no Linear A form)
  • CH 043 > LA 324 (=370 ?) / LA 363 (= 364 ?); LA 324 only at Haghia Triada and LA 363/364 only at Zakros, so LA 324 may be a regional variant of either (Ferrara, Montecchi & Valério 2022, 88)
  • LA 363/364 compared with Linear B B 12 so (Soldani 2013, apud Ferrara, Montecchi & Valério 2022, 98)
  • *324-DI-RA = sōdir 'one who sets in order' (√s-d-r; Akk. sadāru, CAD S 11), DI for d: a recipient among names and titles in the HT9a/HT9b wine lists and HT122a; šōṭēr 'officer' would need DI for ṭ

Note

Speculative (0.30). Only 1 word attested (*324-DI-RA, 3 occ at HT). Distinct from ZU (SigLA crops: ladder/frame form against lens-on-stem). On the SigLA crops *324 is closest to *364 (ZA15a): both have a hooked, sinuous left stroke and two strokes running to a right member; *364's strokes spread diagonally to an enclosing arc. *363 (ZA14) differs in construction. Remains LOW_OCCURRENCE_BLOCKED for formal resolution until a second word context appears.
