Er der nogen eksperter i bronze alder og/eller tidlig jernalder, der har forsøgt at lave en kobling mellem Linear B's "𐀟𐁊" pe-rjo-, og ældre fuþark p-runen "ᛈ" *perþō?

Etymologien af *perþō er ukendt ifølge Wikipedia, men "𐀟𐁊" er angiveligt navnet på en mykensk gud. Og to eller tre af de andre runer symboliserer allerede guder.

Why does Linear B have The Cubs logo, the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, and a Gandalf "You shall not pass" doodle as part of its script?
