Discussion Points
→ "The numbers are as a rule round hundreds, or a series of lesser numbers adding up to a round total. In these cases the sum is never shown on the tablet." (Chadwick & Ventris 1959, 201)
→ The above statement is somewhat true of the KN Da, Db, Dc, Dd, De, Df and Dg series. I was curious and checked the KN Db series and all of the following sums are possible in this series: 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 130, 150. 100 is by far the most common total. Non round anomalies included 195 on KN Db 1110, 106 on KN Db 1250, etc.
→ PE and PA are likely abbreviations of Mycenaean adjectives (Killen 1964, 2)
→ PE modifies RAM (OVISm) only, with one exception: a EWE (OVISf) on KN Dg 926 (Killen 1964, 2, footnote 6)
→ O modifies RAM (OVISm) only, with one exception: a EWE (OVISf) on ?KN Dv 1153 or KN Dg1169? (Killen 1964, 2, footnote 7)
