Mycénien pa-we-a pe-ne-we-ta /pharweha phernewwenta/ : des textiles avec des pièces rapportées

Studi Micenei ed Egeo-Anatolici, Nuova Serie 10 (2024): 9-20

The Mycenaean neuter plural pe-ne-we-ta qualifies articles of clothing (pa-we-a /pharweha/), or it is used near the logogram TELA. There have been several proposals: /pnewent-/ ‘vaporosi’ (Gallavotti), /pneuwent/- ‘ariosi’ (Doria), /pen-went-/ or /penewent-/ (Chadwick : pen- from πίνος ‘natural grease in wool’), or even /sphēn-went-/ ‘featuring a weave with wedges’ (σφήν), but none of these explanations is suitable (cf. DMic. II, 99). We try to show that pe-ne-we-ta can conceal /phernewwenta/ ‘provided with /phernes-/’.
