# \*802 > Linear A syllabic *802, speculative: ra. A page of the Linear A Lexicon's research wiki, in [Wiki]() › [Kaphtor Lexicon]() › [Signs]() › [Syllabic signs](). Updated 2026-10-24. **Status: speculative.** A speculative value. ## Phonetic value | Field | Value | |---|---| | Value | /ra/ | | Alternates | none | | Linear B | no Linear B counterpart recorded | | Neutralization class | none | ### Forms cited for the value - A-SA-SA-\*802-ME (PRZa1, Prassa stone vessel, GORILA IV 48) ~ A-SA-SA-RA-ME (IOZb10, Iouktas clay vessel, GORILA V p.87)—the confirmed ʾasaramu libation formula with A802 substituting for RA at the identical formula position - Same lemma (IOZb10 ʾasaramu); same genre and slot (both inscribed ritual vessels); different sites, no shared hand; phonologically coherent ### Note Candidate, not resolved: LA supplies no direct strict calibration set of known same-word syllabographic variants; the operative prior is now the ḤAFAR LB administrative strict bound of 3/35 = 8.57% (95% Wilson \[2.96%, 22.38%\]), which replaces the uninformative \[0,1\] interval but transfers as a prior only, so the two spellings are possibly one word. Falsifiers: a second syllabic A802 context incompatible with /ra/; a role or edition correction on PRZa1; proof the two formula slots are distinct. GORILA IV 48 itself normalizes the PRZa1 sign as RA: A802 there is RA drawn reversed in the drawing and facsimile, and the corpus now reads A-SA-SA-RA-ME. ## Linked from - [Syllabic signs]() --- Page: https://linear-a.ai/wiki/lexicon/signs/syllabic/star802/ Licence: CC BY 4.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Cite as: di Mino, Tom. 2026.
