## Lexicon entries here

- [TA-NA-I-\*301-U-TI-NU](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/TA-NA-I-*301-U-TI-NU/index.md>) (tan-ʿinā-u-tī-n(u)): may you (f.) answer us (N-stem of √ʿ-n-y in the TA-NA-[X]-U-TI-NU frame: 2fs prefix + indicative -u + subject clitic -tī + 1cp object -n). Probable.
- [I-NA-TA-I-ZU-DI-SI-KA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/I-NA-TA-I-ZU-DI-SI-KA/index.md>) (ʿInatī ṯudī-šiqā): my Anat, Breast-Who-Gives-Drink—theonym plus compound divine epithet. Speculative.
- [JA-SA-SA-RA-ME](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/JA-SA-SA-RA-ME/index.md>) (yaššaram): in righteousness (adverbial accusative in -am of √y-š-r; also 'righteously'); rival: substantivized "the upright/proper [thing]" in an object slot. Polysemic layer: masculine divine name Yasharam (Akk. Mīšarum, Phoen. Misor). Confirmed.

## Remarks

Orange-yellow alabaster cup with a petal-shaped rim. The vessel is chipped, but the three written words and their dividers are complete. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
