## Lexicon entries here

- [PA-SE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/PA-SE/index.md>) (Pašše): Pašše (personal name; Hurrian pašš- 'send'). Speculative.
- [GRA+QE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/GRA~2BQE/index.md>) (qemāḥu): flour/meal as a grain subtype; processed grain product for rations and offerings. Candidate.
- [OLE+KI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/OLE~2BKI/index.md>) (kīnu): genuine, standard-grade oil (kīnu). Candidate.
- [\*304](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/*304/index.md>) (pidru): fat, tallow (an oil/fat-register commodity). Candidate.
- [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.
- [GRA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/GRA/index.md>): dagān 'grain, cereal'. Probable.
- [NI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/NI/index.md>): figs—commodity ideogram (FIC). Confirmed.

## Remarks

An allocation from the Villa Magazine (Scribe 20) in two sections: PA-SE takes GRA+QE (flour) 20, OLE+KI (oil) 2 and *304 3; SA-RA₂ takes GRA 10 and figs (NI, shown as FIC) 10, the last 10 alone on the third line. The whole text is written over an erasure (GORILA I, 35), and the vertical stroke GORILA takes for the figs' 10 may belong to the erased text. The stand-in shows faint traces of erased signs under the text; they are not a reading, and the tablet's size and outline are its own. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
