Words

Pick a word. Follow it onto every document that carries it, see the line it sits on, and see what comes next on that line. That's the whole tool.

Every word with at least one sign SigLA identifies gets a page. That's 1,137 of 1,142 distinct words in the word list. The rest are made only of signs SigLA can't identify, so there's nothing to follow. The words come from SigLA's word pages, one list per document, on 695 of 1,883 documents in the corpus.

Nobody can read these words (that includes us). The letters are proposed values, borrowed from Linear B. So a word page shows where a word turns up and what sits beside it. It doesn't say what the word means, because nobody knows. A line is placed only where SigLA's crops and the sign-by-sign text agree sign for sign: 321 of 1,705 occurrences of a word with a page.

The words on the most documents come first. 923 of 1,137 words with a page turn up on one document only, so the list gets long at the bottom.
