## Lexicon entries here

- [\*516](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/*516/index.md>) (šipru): account, register (šipru), a transaction logogram. Candidate.
- [MA-DI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/MA-DI/index.md>) (Maʾdi): place name: a unit of men and livestock in the HT rosters; rival the Hurrian personal name Madi 'wisdom'. Speculative.
- [QA-QA-RU](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/QA-QA-RU/index.md>) (Qaqqaru): personal name, 'Ground' (Akkadian qaqqarum). Candidate.
- [A-RI-SU](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/A-RI-SU/index.md>) (ḥārišu): the craftsman, artisan (title). Candidate.
- [RI-RU-MA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/RI-RU-MA/index.md>) (Lirumā): personal name, 'Pomegranate' (Ug. lrmn); recipient of pigs. Speculative.
- [KU-RO](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/KU-RO/index.md>) (kull): total, sum (accounting term). Confirmed.

## Remarks

Pig account from the Casa, Room 9 (Scribe 3), intact. Under SUS (“pigs”) and *516 come four recipients, MA-DI 15, QA-QA-RU 6, A-RI-SU 4 and RI-RU-MA 10, the first three each followed by a KI amount (10, 4, 1). KU-RO 30 is five short of the entries’ 35, but the closing KI 15 is exactly 10 + 4 + 1, so KI reads as short for KI-RO, “owed”. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
