Myceneanx-mycenianmycenianDo we need a code for Linear B, until there is some sort of accepted code for non-alphabetic script? **I think we do, even if it is unambiguous when we refer to Linear B script--for consistency if nothing else**

Koinex-koinekoine

Epic (Homeric)x-homerichomericThree possible names: epic, Homeric, dactylic. The third is more accurate but probably obscure. Homeric would be my choice, if the term is really needed.

Northwesternx-nwgreeknwgreekThis might be frowned upon, since it is the only term which is not readily recognisable historically (mycenean, koine, epic) or geographically / ethnically (all the rest). However, if we stick to the convention that only level-2 taxonomy is indicated, I see no alternative.
