Kvashilava, Gia, 2010. On Reading Pictorial Signs of the Phaistos Disk and Related Scripts (2). Rosette (in Georgian and English)

My readings are supported by J. Younger (2008-2010) who
read this inscription ][••]- • [•••]- • -[ ][•][ as ][••]-JA •
[•••]-JA • JA-WA-[ ][•][ ‟supposedly a religious text‟.
The rightness of the reading is also confirmed by the readings
of the corresponding Myceneaen Greek B008/10000,
B057/1000A and B054/10037. M. Ventris read these signs as
[a], [ja] and [wa] correspondingly.
So, the eight-petalled rosette PHD38 I read as *
[*aəa] – Aea, the oldest name of the Sun-country of Colchis,
Sakartvelo/Georgia the corresponding Greek is genit. case
(comp.: Herodotus I, 2; II, 103-105; VII, 193, 197; Apollonius
of Rhodes I, 174; II, 417, 422, 1094, 1141, 1185, 1267,
1277; III, 306, 313, 1061; IV, 33, 255, 277-278; Kaukhchishvili
1964, 9-14; 1970, VIII, 2-4; Kaukhchishvili 1960, 18-19, 48-49;
1976-b, 12, 18-19; Urushadze 1964, 6-8, 10, 63-64; 1970, 28-29,
347 10 ; Lordkipanidze 2000, 9 1 ; 1986, 43; Gamkrelidze, Ivanov
1984, II, 907, 907 1 , 908; Gordeziani 2007, III, 469, 473).
I also think that the eight-petalled rosette is the symbol
of the royal family and the royal power of Aea.
Semantic parallels of Aea are presented below:
Greek , genit. case – Aea or Eëa, 1 a town of
Colchis (Eumelus of Corinth; EGF 1877, I, 188 and ff., 2;
Urushadze 1948, 224 96 ; 1964, 103);
Greek , genit. case – Aea, a town in Thessaly, Old
Greece, inhabited by Pelasgians (Stephen of Byzantium,
Ethnica; Meinekius 1849, 36, 37, 20-21; Urushadze 1964, 230);
1 . Colchian [aia] is regularly corresponded by [ea]. The correspondence
in supported by the fact that in Zan, especially in Mingrelian -
> - [ai->e-] (also: - >- [-ai>-e] and - ->- - [-ai->-e-]) contraction. E.g.,
Georgian [maisi] > Mingrelian [meesi] > [mesi] – May,
the word in considered to be borrowed from Georgian to Mingrelian
