- Title
A note on the Mycenaean thematic genitive ending in month names.
- Authors
Delgado, José Miguel Jiménez
- Abstract
The aim of this paper is to revise the interpretation of the -o appearing in some Mycenaean month names as a thematic genitive singular ending. This -o would be an alternative to regular -o-jo that has been considered a remnant of the IE ablative. However, the data point to a syntactic blend of nominative of rubric and temporal genitive in the most relevant cases. Accordingly, Mycenaean thematic month names ending in -o should be read as nominatives
