If anyone knows what the last word on the fourth line there is, let me know.

That's quite some handwriting you've got there, dude. I would guess it from context, except I'm having trouble establishing it. Is this a fair translation?


"I fought house-to-house with ?Bowrater? ?it? ?but?. Well, ?one? village would still have been destroyed. Burned to the ground, likely. But possibly not quite so many of his comrades would have died."

Not bad! You got the last two sentences in full. The rest is:

"and [preceded by a comma] fought house-to-house with barricades and bows [I figured it out]--well, the village would still have been destroyed."

I am my own language, man. Has anyone considered that maybe Linear B was just a dude with really bad chisel-man-ship?

I decided it was bears. Fighting house to house with barricades and bears would be awesome.

Damn. It would!
