KN Db 1232 (Scribe 117)
The Knossos Tablets [4th ed.] includes the following note: “pe-ri-qo-te-jo possibly over erasure”; however, Scripta Minoa II clearly shows pe-ri-qo-ro-jo. Cf. ko-ro. Although it is phonetically feasible, περικρώζω (perikrozo) “to caw all around”, as it pertains to crows, appears to be a reanalysis and is ruled out.
