Due to its prominence on the sheep tablets (primarily the KN Dk and Dl series), ligature B *145 is conventionally transcribed as LANA “wool”. Moreover, B *145 and ma+ru (A *558-560) appear to be abbreviations of ma+ru.re (A *562). Cf. the derivative, ma+ru.me (A *561) > μήρυμα (meruma) “that which is spun into thread”. Cf., also, μηρύομαι (meruomai) and Doric μᾱρύομαι (maruomai) “to wind off thread”.
