Writing Systems of the World 4, Exercise 3: ko-no-so

Knosos has the sounds k-n-o-s-o-s (with the ending -s). Written ko-no-so, the
final consonant -s is lost, and the cluster is broken up by supplying vowels
(the Syllabary article says complex onsets were written with two signs or
simplified, and codas were generally ignored).

What it shows: a CV syllabary can only write consonants that are followed by a
vowel. For a language with codas and clusters, like Greek, the writer must
choose what to drop, so readers rely on context to restore it. This is the
price of fitting a syllabary to a language it does not suit well, and part of
why Linear B was hard to decipher (my inference; the article text I read does
not say so).
