   Hello Kim, thanks for the link. I did know of them. I found the meaning of a-re-ta-to -part of a chariot. It was most likely the weapon stand/foot stand. Chadwick and Ventris

     Hello, Rita! I am not sure what you are asking. What do you need help with? Hapax legomenon await a broader corpus before we can do them any true justice.

     This might help with understanding the difficulties of translating words like a-re-ta-to: http://minoan.deaditerranean.com/2012/10/24/more-great-advice-on-decipherment-and-interpretation/
