    I’ve been doing some data analysis related to the sign groups and adjuncts that most frequently appear in conjunction with VIR on the Knossos tablets. Here’s what most frequently appears in the context of VIR at Knossos (I’ve excluded single instance appearances; and please ignore the case sensitivity, it’s just an issue with my current set of data):

    [“OVISm”, 55],
    [“OVISf”, 27],
    [“OVIS”, 6],
    [“]OVISm”, 5],
    [“]OVISf”, 5],
    => 98 instances

    [“M”, 45],

    [“KI”, 31],

    [“TELA1+TE”, 11],
    [“TELA+TE”, 7],
    [“CLOTHTBD+TE”, 4], // probably duplicate inscription from multiple sources
    [“TELA2+TE”, 4],
    [“TELAx+TE”, 2],
    => 28 instances

    [“TELA1”, 14],
    [“CLOTHTBD”, 4], // probably duplicate inscription from multiple sources
    [“TELA3”, 3],
    [“]TELA1”, 3],

    to do:
    case insensitivity
    run Pylos and compare once PY data entry is complete
    auto-consolidate declensions and alternations
    de-duplicate entries from single inscriptions with multiple sources
