## Lexicon entries here

- [TU-NU](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/TU-NU/index.md>) (Tunu): Tunu (Hurrian personal name, owner's name on a double axe). Speculative.

## Remarks

A cast bronze double axe, a working tool rather than a sheet-metal votive like AR Zf 1, with one word cut into a face of the blades: TU on one side of the shaft hole and NU on the other, followed by a divider, which the stand-in leaves out. Its size, the curve of its blades and the boss round the shaft hole are not taken from the original. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.

## 3D model

Created at Plasma AI. Template model generated in the browser; texts after the project dossier and GORILA. Glyphs: Noto Sans Linear A (OFL), re-cut stroke by stroke.
