Glossary of Linear A Mino-Hurrian (draft - v1) Arnaud Fournet (November 2017)
Abstract: The draft lists the Hurrian-looking words present in a number of LinearA inscriptions.
Inscriptions according to Peter Van Soesbergen (2016) Minoan Linear A. Preliminary remarks about epigraphy Generally speaking, the phonetic values of LinearB Li nearB can be accepted for LinearA incriptions. There are nevertheless a number of exceptions: (1) the LinearB q-series should be analyzed as a LinearA ḫ-series, (2) the LinearB sign ja is (always) to be read as LinearA ba , (3) the LinearB sign nwa is (always) to be read as LinearA naw, (4) the LinearB sign jo is (always) to be read as LinearA niw, (5) the sign i is (possibly always) to be read se , On account of these emended readings, the string
is to be read , or even ‘for my father(hood)’, fa ther(hood)’, and the string is to be read : SugriTeseb(i/a) = Šugri-Teššub ‘Teššub protect(s/ed) [him]’. These emended readings are here taken as a given, and their wellfoundedness will not be discussed. The places where Mino-Hurrian can be found It must be emphasized that a number of inscriptions are *not* interpretable as Hurrian. They are usually located in the north-western half of Crete, while those interpretable i nterpretable as Hurrian are mostly in the south-eastern half. For example, (KH 9), (KH 11) are highly perplexing from a Hurrian perspective. Quite oddly, Phaistos (Linear A–B) , though possibly etymologizable as being from Hurrian pa-(h)išt - ‘to build’, does not seem to reveal reveal much that is interpretable as Hurrian.

Some innovative or conservative features of Mino-Hurrian On the whole, Mino-Hurrian is fairly close to standard Near-Eastern Hurrian, as regards morphology and vocabulary. The phonology of Mino-Hurrian seems rather conservative as regards vowels, especially word-final vowels, which show a significantly higher diversity than in standard Near-Eastern Hurrian. Specific innovations - the diphthongs -ae, -ai seem to be changed to /ā/: se!-da-a < * šed-ae, ba-ni-wi < *bayn-iwwi, Innovations shared with Standard Hurrian - Archaic Genitive -i, and Dative -a are changed to -bi, -ba, sometimes -b- is lenited to -w-: e-ni-wa ‘to the god’, compare se!-ni-ba = se!-ni-wa ‘to the brother’, these phenomena are endemic in Hurrian, Conservative features - the dental stop /t/ is not lenited by a following -i: ka-na-ti < *kan-na-tti ‘your (pl) children’ (standard Hurrian is hanna-šši), - several enclitic pronouns have a more diverse vocalism: -te, -me, -uru, than standard Hurrian: -tta, -mma, -alla, both dialects agree on -ni (sg) and -n(n)a (pl) as Definite articles, - some morphemes seem voiceless in Mino-Hurrian: ki-te = keldi ‘health’, -ta = -da ‘Allative-Dative’, The case of /o/ Signs with o are exceedingly rare in the Mino-Hurrian corpus, which incidentally is a superficial indication that inscriptions can or cannot be Hurrian. The more /o/ is frequent, the less Hurrian it looks. Instances of /o/: - a-ko (very odd ending) = akki ‘the other one’ (following a-di in the same inscription) - o-su-qa-re (uncertain form and meaning, but quite Hurrian-looking) = *uršuhare ‘(?) desire (or vow)’ - se!-do-ri = šiduri ‘girl’, - se-to-se!- = (Place name) ‘Setos’, is most likely not a Hurrian-based word,
