- [RE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/RE/index.md>) (le-): to, for, as (preposition). Confirmed.

## Remarks

A fragment of a clay conical cup with two signs: RE and a fraction sign, read B, ⅕, by Hood and by Younger; GORILA renders it ⅓. RE is read as the preposition “to, for”, so the cup is marked as a measure for someone or something. The record does not say how the signs were made; the stand-in scratches them below the rim of a piece of the cup wall, and its size and the line of the breaks are its own. 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.
