In spite of various efforts, a few syllabograms in the Mycenaean Linear B signary are still unidentified and hence they remain untransliterated. The following is an attempt to deciphering the value of the syllabogram *86 attested exclusively in personal and place names, a fact that increases the difficulties in discovering its value, since contextual hints are not at work. After reviewing the dossier of *86, the author puts forward a transliteration dwa for this sign, which is therefore to be aligned with such compound signs as dwe and dwo. The existence of such a triplet of signs (dwa dwe dwo) prompts the subsequent search for a sign twa to be similarly aligned with the extant twe and two. In an excursus the author thinks of the syllabogram *82 as the most tempting candidate to fill the slot for twa in the Linear B signary.
