- [TU-RU-SA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/TU-RU-SA/index.md>) (Tursa): Shield, Protector (invoked in formula position two); the name Tursha. Speculative.
- [DU-\*314-RE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/DU-*314-RE/index.md>) (dubur): sanctuary, inner sanctum; proposed variant spelling of DU-PU₂-RE. Candidate.
- [I-DA-A](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/I-DA-A/index.md>) (ʾIda): of Ida (diptotic genitive after DU-*314-RE); rival 'toward Ida'. Probable.

## Remarks

Nearly the whole formula at another peak sanctuary, one line on each side, with a sanctuary word and the place name Ida. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
