Description
This is a collection of 120 Linear B symbols (see [link] if you don't know what Linear B is), in svg format. I found these in various images on the web and converted them to vector format.
Each glyph is in a separate file, with the syllable/word represented by each glyph being the filename. There are two or three which do not really correspond to a word (probably the guy that uploaded them on the internet wasn't that familiar with the script or the language it represents. "Meri" for instance, I'm pretty sure stands for "honey" (μέλι/meli in Greek). "Arepa" and "kanako" are rather more obscure, though. "Arepa" might (or might not) stand for "ointment" (αλοιφή/aloife), while "kanako" I was unable to find, though I didn't do much of a research.
I "created" them for a mini online game I've been developing on and off for about 3 years now, but then I thought they may be of use to someone else as well.
I can't (nor would I want to) claim any rights to this resource; I don't think it is possible (or desirable, for that matter) to claim rights to the alphabet/script of a real-life language, be it a live (such as English, Greek, Russian, Chinese, Japanese,...) or dead language (such as ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Latin,...).
So feel free to use these at your will, in or out of deviantart. I would appreciate it if you sent me a link to what you've done, though I don't require it.
EDIT: I just realized that the title was somewhat vague, so I changed it a bit.

Because of the similarity with Japanese when read aloud (e.g. wanake instead of *wanakte, I enjoyed Linear B's transcriptions: they sound like a language different from their original Greek.
In fact, Linear B's transcriptions inspired me to create one or a few languages of my own!
