Dr. Gerald Cohen, professor of Russian and German, published “Reflections on Linear B (part 14) – Sign 76 (with two parallel wavy lines pronounced /ra/); possible derivation from the river traveled nightly by the sun god Ra” in Comments on Etymology in February.
The paper examines the origins of characters in Linear B, the earliest form of Greek writing, and explores possible influence from ancient Egyptian mythology.
