Hi,
In modern greek ninety is
ενενήντα

If you want to say "ninety years old", it's
ενενήντα χρονών

In Ancient Greek it should look like
ἐνενήκοντα ἐτών

In Linear B, "ἐνενήκοντα" is most probably written as
U+10001, U+1001A, U+1001B, U+10012, U+1001C, U+10032

Linear B fonts available at http://www.csupomona.edu/~jcclark/fonts/ ,

Happy New Year 2005 and Happy Birthday to your grandfather,
