QuestionsEteocretan and EteocypriotWhat do the Dreros and Amathus bilinguals actually establish about the two languages?Answer
Answer · Eteocretan and Eteocypriot
The bilinguals fix names, one ending and perhaps one verb, not a grammar
The bilinguals establish personal names, the Eteocypriot patronymic ending and probably one Eteocretan verb form (inai, "it was decided"), and confirm that the scripts carry their Greek values; they do not establish grammar or vocabulary beyond that.
Where it stands
Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Recovery of either stone or of better photographs will not add new secure word equations beyond these.
What would rule it out
- A re-reading of either bilingual that aligns whole clauses consistently with the Greek.
