Abstract
The study looks at the iconicity, phonemic and graphemic, of the historical marker KA-RA since Mycenaean Greek, following current research paradigms of psycholinguistics. Its syllables (KA, RA) are examined in relation to the shape of its referents, mapped into roundness overall. Concerning KA, the study shows that both the phoneme and grapheme refer to round and angular/linear real-world referents, an outcome that agrees with previous research. In addition, KA-RA is shown to be culturally constructed, manifested in i.e., art designs that have been preserved and expressed in a similar fashion across civilizations, especially in the worship of Mother Earth.
