<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>just a short note: the best - to my opinion -
and linguistically most logical interpretation of Lin.A as a IE language
(understanding and comparing it very convincingly to later Lycian) is by
Margalit Finkelberg: Minoan Inscriptions on Libation Vessels, Minos25, 1990.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Following her lead we might suppose that Lykian was
not derived from Luwian but rather from - similar but earlier - Lin. A.,
another early 'Anatolian' (may be now better: Aegean - that is what Pelasgian is
usually used for - language).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Archaeological evidence in this context is
difficult to read, but after my recent studies on Eastern Aegean mythology fits
even better.</FONT></DIV>
