Minoan Linear A, Mycenaean Linear B and Arcado-Cypriot Linear C

Our WordPress Blog has been completely updated and revised, 2026!

We have published our online monograph (e-book),

Are the Minoan libation invocations PK Za 4 – PK Za 8 in Anatolian proto-Greek? by KONOSO PRESS, Ottawa, ISBN: 978-0-9868289-3-5, (six chapters, 127 pp., complete with the Appendix, Glossary of Terminology, Historical Linguistics) © by Richard Vallance Janke, with Francesco Perono Cacciafoco and Brian McVeigh, Editorial Consultants (2025). After 8 long years, we have finally deciphered the albeit small cache of Minoan Linear A libation invocations in this truly ground-breaking online monograph (e-book), astonishing as it may seem, as none other than Anatolian proto-Greek, with some vocabulary derived from cuneiform Hittite and Luwian adapted to the Minoan Linear A syllabary, and some vocabulary cast in an entirely new Indo-European language, proto-Greek, adstrate with cuneiform Hittite and Luwian but entirely distinct from them, on academia.edu, here:

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.

Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
