• IPA^(key): /ba(ː)/, /pa(ː)/, /pʰa(ː)/

𐀞 (pa)

1. The Linear B syllabic letter ⟨pa⟩.
2. An adjunct to 𐂁 (MUL) 'woman' and 𐂧 (TELA) 'cloth', meaning unconfirmed but possibly an abbreviation of Mycenaean Greek 𐀞𐀨𐀍 (pa-ra-jo), which is thought to be cognate with Ancient Greek παλαιός (palaiós) 'old'
3. A possible adjunct to glyphs of domestic animals to make them male: 𐂅 (EQU^m) stallion, 𐂇 (OVIS^m) ram, 𐂉 (CAP^m) billy-goat, 𐂋 (SUS^m) boar, 𐂍 (BOS^m) bull. A retention from Minoan, extended to additional animal glyphs in Linear B; the phonetic value would mean nothing in Greek.
