Pure tripe. The Greek alphabet is derived from the Phoenician one, not LInear B. Ethan, do you know what sort of "alphabet" Linear B was? Do you know how its symbols mapped onto Greek phonology?

βούτυρον < Ϝοχυρόν > Ϝοχυρ(בָּקָר) No, it's literally "cow cheese". BOS - Ox, bull, cow ( Latin) An Indo-European word, with cognates like English "cow", Greek "bous", and Sanskrit "gau". This word is in שנה בים (SN BIM) " cattle-teeth" , this is th...

Seven is an interesting word, in Latin SEPTUM , Greek EPTA or EBDOM and Phoenician, SHEBA ( Shebta) , We get the word Sabbath from here, note that September was the original Seventh month , counting from March. Seventh month in the early Roman calendar. BTW, the Latin word is "septem". As...
