Compare the contexts of pa-ra-jo (*740) and pa-ra-wa-jo (*737). These appear to be variants.
There’s a good argument here that they’re contextually different. pa-ra-jo is used here as an adjective describing ARM on PY Sh 740 and pa-ra-wa-jo is used as a noun that’s being counted on PY Sh 737, parallel to ko-ru-to (helmet).
I’ve added Chadwick & Ventris’ 1973 theory for pa-ra-wa-jo for you. It also appears on KN Sk for further context.
Once I get all of the lexicon on to the site (an on-going task that I will be at for quite awhile…), I’ll be able to start updating with more current theories on some of these words, though in many cases, the 2008 or even 2011 versions of the theories echo Chadwick & Ventris’ work. I’m hoping there’s something new on me-zo and me-u-jo; I find their definition in this context a bit hard to believe.
