𐀑𐀏𐀲𐀔

Mycenaean Greek

Etymology

Uncertain. Written smaller before the listing of the last four vessels, drawn as 𐃧 (*208VAS), which most sources consider to be the ideographic rendition thereof. As the vessel's name, perhaps connected to Ο†ΟŽΞ³Ο‰ (phαΉ“gō, β€œto roast”), reconstructing a hypothetical *φωκτμά (*phōktmΓ‘, β€œvessel for roasting”). Alternatively, it has been linked to προσκτάομαι (prosktΓ‘omai, β€œto additionally buy”), as a general description of the more precious vessels that close the list.
