# \*82 > Linear A syllabic *82, speculative: si. 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 | /si/ | | Alternates | none | | Linear B | no Linear B counterpart recorded | | Neutralization class | none | ### Forms cited for the value - Speculative: SI2, a duplicate sibilant (standard SI = AB41 remains in use). - E-\*82 (ZA4a, 50-unit bulk slot in the Zakros wine dossier) = 'asi(s) 'new wine, must'—E carries guttural onset 'a-, SI2 carries /sis/ with final sibilant unwritten - Standalone \*82 on KHWa 1003/1004 nodules = commodity logogram abbreviating 'asis (guttural-skipping abbreviation: first consonantal sign, NI-for-figs dual-function pattern) - Complementary distribution, as with GRA+KU: full spelling E-\*82 in ledger context, bare \*82 on sealings, never co-occurring - Rival value: a pha-type labial aspirate (pe-re-\*82 = \*Perspha, Persephatta stem; Linear A E-\*82 then reads epa 'ephah measure') - Cross-script picture: LB \*82 = swa (Chadwick, Minos 9, 1968) refined by Melena to {twa} with tw>sw assibilation (On the Structure of the Mycenaean Linear B Syllabary I, section 16)—NON-CIRCULAR support from the pi-\*82 ~ pi-sa-wa-ta doublet and the toponym family (Pitwa>Pisa, Krithwa>Krisa, Litwa>Lisa); the sibilant/dental family is coherent with SI2 and weighs AGAINST the pha rival in LB (Judson's circularity note applies only to the Persephone-based argument) ## Linked from - [Syllabic signs]() --- Page: https://linear-a.ai/wiki/lexicon/signs/syllabic/star82/ Licence: CC BY 4.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Cite as: di Mino, Tom. 2026.
