Abstract

The present contribution is a continuation of my article ‘The Lotus Flower in Cretan Hieroglyphic’.

jabu-Re

For the scribes of Cretan Hieroglyphic there were six ways of stressing the importance of the Egyptian sun-god Re as the key element in the Minoan throne-name jabu-Re, ‘Heart of Re’ (Fig. 1a; no. 162). One way of doing so was to add to the syllabic sign with the value re an identical, but smaller syllabic sign or, alternatively, to add to the logogram of the lotus flower with the value re an identical, but likewise smaller logogram; in both cases, the smaller, identical adjunct was added to focus the reader's attention upon the last part of the throne-name (Fig. 1b and 1c; no. 242, no. 214).
