## Lexicon entries here

- [JA-SA-SA-RA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/JA-SA-SA-RA/index.md>) (yaššar-): line-broken first portion of JA-SA-SA-RA-ME / yaššaram 'uprightly; in righteousness'; not independently attested as a bare lemma. Candidate.

## Remarks

A corner of a square red-orange serpentine libation table from the Iouktas peak sanctuary. The formula runs round the border of the top and turns the corner: JA-SA-SA-RA- on one side, -ME on the next, with no divider at the turn. Before it, *123 is the last sign of a lost word; after it only U-NA-RU-KA survives, and its ending is lost with the stone. The stand-in shows the whole table, chipped where the text breaks off. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
