## Lexicon entries here

- [KI-RI-TA₂](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/KI-RI-TA~E2~82~82/index.md>) (Kirīta): Kret (variant spelling). Probable.
- [OLE+QE+DI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/OLE~2BQE~2BDI/index.md>): oil with flour and honey, a compound (A623). Speculative.
- [SA-RA₂](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/SA-RA~E2~82~82/index.md>) (šarra): queen/princess; by metonymy the queen's or royal establishment (recipient/institutional heading). Candidate.

- [OLE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/OLE/index.md>): šamnu 'oil, olive oil'. Probable.
- [NI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/NI/index.md>): figs—commodity ideogram (FIC). Confirmed.
- [VIN](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/VIN/index.md>): wayn 'wine'. Probable.
- [\*23M](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/*23M/index.md>) (mūru): young bull, head of cattle (live livestock logogram; MU-onset abbreviation of *mūru). Probable.

## Remarks

Casa, Room 9 (Scribe 4). A special oil for KI-RI-TA₂, then grain, oil, figs, wine and an animal sign for SA-RA₂, in the same order as on its near twin HT 114a. The original is a clay tablet, worn but complete, its lower half left blank (4.1 × 6.0 × 1.0 cm); so the Haghia Triada accounts don't all look alike, this stand-in carries its text on a round clay disc. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
