If you receive random (that is, oracular) texts in Daman Diwan you may realize that it is a language made by nature itself, and the messages you get come from a living and omniscient entity; still you may argue that the texts you get are so meaningful because you, or your higher self, made or found them. However, there are texts that cannot have been made by you or me or anybody: the best example of such is the text given by the π number; nobody can be said to have created that number (it comes from the shape of any circle) yet its first digits are so profound, wise, meaningful and useful when (the digits are) translated into Daman Diwan. There is no other explanation for it; we know that Daman Diwan exists since the shape of circle exists; rather, since the world exists, as the π number explains the creation of the world in Daman Diwan language.

"a grain of practice is worth a ton of theory". Here is a real ton of practice. It is a wonderful text in Daman Diwan, very useful for acquiring fluency in the language that exists since the beginning of the world and was discovered on the very first day of the Christian chronology year 2015. Even more useful in developing loving devotion (prema bhakti) for Kr,s,ná. You can read it aloud and record it and upload it anywhere; you can print and sell it, i claim no copyright on it. You can simply read it bit by bit and so fully enjoy loving the Lord.

This work will easily be understood after the reader familiarizes with our previous works on the Aegean syllabic scripts or simply with the basic principles explained there, namely that:
-the Minoan civilization was created by Sumerians who settled mainly on Crete since the very beginning of the 3rd millennium BC, when the most important Sumerian city in Mesopotamia was Uruk and their most revered God was An.
-since the settlement of Sumerians on Crete and Cyprus, starting about 3000 years BC, the Sumerian pictography evolved into two types of syllabic script, both of them called ProtoLinear (PL); there were two types of PL script, because the Sumerian language evolved differently in Cyprus than in Crete, so each type of PL was adapted to the local dialect; consequently we have two types of ProtoLinear: the Cypriot PL and the Cretan PL.
-the PL script in both its types was an ingenious invention because it was the easiest script to learn; actually a fluent speaker of Sumerian did not even have to go to school to learn reading, because the name and phonetic value of each sign was the name of the thing depicted by the sign, and all signs were readily recognizable by Sumerians; consequently, the PL signs remained always recognizable by Sumerians no matter how long time would elapse; on the other hand, the PL script used by non-Sumerians naturally changed by the passage of time, the signs were simplified and distorted as for non-Sumerians there was no connection between sign-image and sign-name.
-in other words, PL was, by definition, the script used by Sumerians, while the same script used by other nations was not PL, but some other kind of script, such as LA, LB, LC, LCGr.

This work examines the designations for tripods on the tablets PY Ta 641-1952 and PY Ta 709+712, which have been puzzling and misinterpreted since their discovery until now. These tablets are examined in connection to each other, using a detailed etymological analysis, the common sense of accountants, and close observation of the sketches on the tablets. It is explained why the term “keresijo” has nothing to do with Crete and why “ai-ke-u” or “ai2-ke-u” as traditionally read on the tablets mentioned is not a personal name. The result is a translation given for the texts related to vessels and especially tripod cauldrons on these tablets.

This paper presents an attempt to reconstruct the most basic features of the language of Homo Sapiens, following the principle of monogenesis, namely the viewpoint that since humans share a common biological ancestry, they also share a common linguistic one. Considering this issue, the basic methods of comparative linguistics are briefly presented first, along with the methodological approach utilized herein, named Qualitative Inquiry. The results of the reconstructing process are presented, classified in terms of phonological, morphological, lexical, grammatical and syntactic aspects. Only bordering to the scope of this paper, a brief comparison of this treatise to previous studies reveals both convergence and discrepancy concerning the features of the language.

This paper presents seven “syllabograms” of the Cretan Protolinear script (signs used for Consonant-Vowel [CV] syllables). This presentation is conducted following the theory of the Cretan Protolinear (CP) script as the one that all the Aegean scripts evolved from, including Linear A, Cretan Hieroglyphics and Linear B. The seven syllabograms of this particular set depict inanimate objects or constructions that were very common or important in everyday life, economy and religion. It is also demonstrated that the phonetic value of each syllabogram corresponds to the Sumerian name of the object depicted by the syllabogram, in a conservative dialect. Thus, more light is shed on the linguistic ancestry of the Aegean scripts, the practice followed for their creation, and, indirectly, on some cultural aspects of the Minoan Civilization.

The Malia Stone Inscription is an extraordinary inscription in the Cretan Hieroglyphic script, which is the only one known engraved on stone, excavated in 1937 at Malia, Crete. Because of its cuplike cavity on top, the stone is thought to be a Minoan altar. The inscription has drawn the attention of numerous archaeologists and researchers of the Aegean scripts who have attempted to read the entire inscription or the separate signs on it. This study has been conducted according to the theory of the Cretan Protolinear script, which is considered herein as the original script that all the Aegean scripts evolved from. The proposed interpretation concludes that the whole phrase is an invocation by a worshipper of his/her personal deity for the bringing of wealth and happiness.

The Aegean scripts comprise five scripts, among them Linear-A, Linear-B and Cretan Hieroglyphic, that are encountered in the Aegean Sea area during the 2nd millennium BC. The Linear-B script conveys the Mycenaean Greek dialect in a very inaccurate manner, regarding the Greek phonology. It has been argued that the unsuitability of Linear-B to represent the Greek phonological system is due to the limited usage of this syllabary for keeping records or for keeping the recorded information classified. The authors argue herein that this is hardly the case. According to some linguistic approaches, Linear-B syllabary was devised from the previous Linear-A one, which had been originally invented for another language of the Aegean linguistic substratum (pre-Greek). Various studies attempt to connect the conveyed languages of Linear-A to Proto-Greek dialects, a pre-Greek Indo-European language, Luwian or Akkadian. Such attempts regard as well the language conveyed by the Cretan Hieroglyphic. Y...

Linear-B script has been studied for sixty years since its decipherment. The laborious efforts of the scholars have revealed many linguistic aspects of the oldest known form of Greek (i.e., Mycenaean/Danaic Greek), thus allowing the study of this Indo-European language and its dynamics for thirty-five centuries. In addition, linguistic phenomena closer to the roots of Indo-European languages can be also studied. Yet, the limited usage of Linear-B script, merely for keeping records, and its incompatibility to the Greek phonotactics causes misinterpretations of various kinds. The study of Linear-B was not supported till recently by interactive software tools that would facilitate both research and training. Especially for Greek speakers, the resources are even more limited. This paper presents the development of an interactive software system for the study, learning and researching of Linear-B by Greek speakers. This software system is also suggested as a model for the interpretation ...

This paper presents a set of eighteen signs of the Minoan scripts, used for syllables of the Consonant-Vowel (CV) type. What these eighteen syllabograms have in common is their vowel, which is a kind of “schwa”, treated here as the “sixth vowel” of the Minoan scripts, counted after the usual five vowels: “a”, “e”, “i”, “o” and “u”. Most of these syllabograms are considered to be of unknown phonetic value, while a few are known to be used for the Mycenaean Greek “αι” ([əj]). The presented approach is conducted according to the theory of the Protolinear script, being the script that all the Minoan scripts evolved from, including Linear A, Linear B and Cretan Hieroglyphics. A detailed study on the nature of that “schwa” and its evolution from - and to - related vowels precedes the presentation of the syllabograms. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that the phonetic value of each syllabogram corresponds to the Sumerian name (in a conservative dialect) of the object depicted by the sylla...

The present study describes the ten attested signs of the Cretan Protolinear script which render disyllabic phonetic values, unlike the monosyllabic ones of the Consonant-Vowel type, which is the common phonetic pattern for the rest of the signs. The Cretan Protolinear script has been proposed as the script that all the Aegean scripts of Bronze Age evolved from. The linguistic affinity of these disyllabic signs to the Sumerian language is demonstrated, in terms of lexicographic reference, phonetic correspondence and pictographic resemblance. In addition, the description of these signs' phonetic features is accompanied by valuable cultural information, wherever available. INTRODUCTION The Cretan Protolinear script (henceforth CP) has been proposed as the script that all the Aegean scripts of Bronze Age (2 nd and 3 rd millennia BCE) evolved from [1-6]. These scripts include, among others [7], Linear A (henceforth LA), Cretan Hieroglyphics (henceforth CH) and Linear B (henceforth LB) syllabaries, the latter being the one that this work mostly focuses on. They are referred to as syllabaries because each of their signs usually renders one syllabic phonetic value of the pattern Consonant-Vowel (CV). Thus, each sign is a " syllabogram ". The Aegean scripts have been found mostly on clay-tablets, but also on other artifacts (pottery, seals, stone inscriptions), mainly in Crete and Peloponnese (LB). With the exception of most inscriptions of CH, the rest of them (LA and LB) are usually account-keeping documents, just like most cuneiform tablets of the Mesopotamian civilizations (e.g., Sumerian and Akkadian).

This study presents a decipherment of the Eteocretan inscription from Psychro (Crete), which was discovered in 1958 and dated to about 300 BC. The inscription was attributed to an unknown Eteocretan language, while the attempts to read the text so far included languages like Hittite, Semitic, even Slavic, without remarkable results. The attempt of the herein decipherment is based on the following concepts evidenced in earlier publications: The inscriptions that are conventionally called Eteocretan convey more than one language. These languages could not have remained totally unaltered through the centuries. Eventually, they had to be written in the Greek alphabet, because of the predominant cultural context. Of course, the Greek alphabet could not precisely render the non-Greek Eteocretan languages, so the scribes improvised their own ways to approximate the sounds of their native language, and this is one more factor that makes it harder for modern researchers to determine the language of the Eteocretan inscriptions. This is the only Eteocretan inscription that was preserved practically intact, but as all attempts of interpreting were fruitless, some researchers have declared it a fake. It would be pointless to return to interpretations of the inscription as conveying languages stated in previous attempts, and since it has been shown in a previous publication that the inscription cannot be fake, the present interpretation follows the latest linguistic evidence about the Sumerian origins of the Aegean scripts and, especially, the confirmation of a Cretan Protolinear script’s existence.

The “siblings” of the Arkalochori Axe are two small votive axes found also in the Arkalochori cave, and one Cretan Hieroglyphic inscription arranged in columns just like the one on the Arkalochori axe (abbreviated here as A.a.). These documents are transcribed here, and their connection to the Minoan Protolinear script is shown. The inscriptions on the axes are interpreted. While all Cretan Hieroglyphic inscriptions convey the Cretan dialect of Sumerian, the two small votive axes are some of the very few documents of Linear A that coincide with Protolinear, i.e. they convey that Sumerian dialect. The Phaistos disc, although of a system consciously imitating the Minoan script, is not itself classified as Minoan.

The Cretan Hieroglyphic script is conventionally classified as one of the five Aegean scripts, along with Linear-A, Linear-B and the two Cypriot Syllabaries, namely the Cypro-Minoan and the Cypriot Greek Syllabary, the latter ones being regarded as such because of their pictographic and phonetic similarities to the former ones. Cretan Hieroglyphics are encountered in the Aegean Sea area during the 2nd millennium BC. Their relationship to Linear-A is still in dispute, while the conveyed language (or languages) is still considered unknown. The authors argue herein that the Cretan Hieroglyphic script is simply a decorative version of Linear-A (or, more precisely, of the lost Cretan Protolinear script that is the ancestor of all the Aegean scripts) which was used mainly by the seal-makers or for ritual usage. The conveyed language must be a conservative form of Sumerian, as Cretan Hieroglyphic is strictly associated with the original and mainstream Minoan culture and religion – in contrast to Linear-A which was used for several other languages – while the phonetic values of signs have the same Sumerian origin as in Cretan Protolinear.

The Aegean scripts comprise five scripts, among them Linear-A, Linear-B and Cretan Hieroglyphic, that are encountered in the Aegean Sea area during the 2nd millennium BC. The Linear-B script conveys the Mycenaean Greek dialect in a very inaccurate manner, regarding the Greek phonology. It has been argued that the unsuitability of Linear-B to represent the Greek phonological system is due to the limited usage of this syllabary for keeping records or for keeping the recorded information classified. The authors argue herein that this is hardly the case. According to some linguistic approaches, Linear-B syllabary was devised from the previous Linear-A one, which had been originally invented for another language of the Aegean linguistic substratum (pre-Greek). Various studies attempt to connect the conveyed languages of Linear-A to Proto-Greek dialects, a pre-Greek Indo-European language, Luwian or Akkadian. Such
attempts regard as well the language conveyed by the Cretan Hieroglyphic. Yet, the relation between the signs and their corresponding phonetic values of Linear-A and Cretan Hieroglyphic is ill-formed while for Linear-B it is well established. The Aegean scripts are compatible to the consonant-vowel syllabic pattern of the phonetic signs. Such a phonetic pattern is mainly akin to agglutinative languages, like Sumerian, considering some arguments based on the presented herein linguistic evidence.

The Turkic "kök" script was syllabic and not alphabetic. It borrowed nothing from other writing systems, but all writing systems of the world, especially the Indian Brahmi and Kharosti Indian scripts and the ancient Chinese writing, originate in the ancient extinct logographic and logo-phonetic Turkic script. This work gives a plausible origin for each of the syllabic signs of the Kök script, including the most rare of its signs which are usually not even included in sign lists.

There was never equality between the 2 sexes, and will never be. During the era of Aries (about 1800 b.C. - 300 a.D.), the worthy element was masculinity, and during the Pisces era (about 300 a.D. - 2400 a.D.) the worthy element is femininity. You can find much more evidence for it than that of this essay. The style is not perfectly scientific, but surely vivid and hopefully working like a magnifying lens investigating things that often do not attract public attention.
