5 The common practice of writing Myc. damo, rawaketa etc. is open to the serious objection that it makes syllabic writing look alphabetic. At least for non-specialist publications, it would be better practice to write either ra-wa-ke-ta or *lāwāgétās or both. The form lawo is a hybrid, neither orthographic *ra-wo nor phonetic *lāwós. For the meaning of λαός cf. Hooker, J.
