Linear A records an Anatolian language of the Luwian or Lycian branch.

Where it stands

What it predicts

• The inflectional endings of the libation formula correspond to Anatolian case and verb endings across all attested variants.
• Common Linear A words (ku-ro, ki-ro, the libation formula words) have Anatolian etymologies with regular sound correspondences.

What would rule it out

• The libation formula's endings cannot be mapped to Anatolian morphology without changing the Linear B sound values ad hoc.
