**Status: speculative.** A speculative value.

## Phonetic value

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Value | /so/ |
| Alternates | /ʾa/ |
| Linear B | no Linear B counterpart recorded |
| Neutralization class | S |

### Alternate values

| Value | Evidence |
| --- | --- |
| /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 &gt; 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.
