## Lexicon entries here

- [TA-NA-SU-TE-KE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/TA-NA-SU-TE-KE/index.md>) (tanašutē-kī): may [it] be drunk for you (f.)—N-stem 3fs imperfective of √š-t-y 'to drink' + 2fs pronominal suffix -kī. Candidate.
- [SE-TO-I-JA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/SE-TO-I-JA/index.md>) (Ṣētiya): the Eastern (place), a central Cretan toponym; rivals the epithet 'she of the East' and a pre-Greek toponym Setoiya. Probable.
- [A-SA-SA-RA-ME](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/A-SA-SA-RA-ME/index.md>) (ʾaššaram): uprightly, in righteousness (variant of yaššaram, ʾa- for ya-). Confirmed.

## Remarks

A whole libation formula in three words, each written as its own stretch (a, b, c): TA-NA-SU-TE-KE · SE-TO-I-JA · A-SA-SA-RA-ME. It opens with a verb found nowhere else in place of A-TA-I-*301-WA-JA and ends with the ʾa- form of JA-SA-SA-RA-ME. A damaged interval of unstated length separates TE and KE, both doubtful; TO and JA are doubtful too, and the RA of the last word is drawn reversed. The stand-in is a round stone table on a foot with the three stretches round its rim; the shape of the original is not taken over. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
