## Lexicon entries here

- [A-TA-I-\*301-WA-JA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/A-TA-I-*301-WA-JA/index.md>) (ʾatainawaya): I make myself a dwelling (1cs tG-stem middle-reflexive denominative of √NWY). Confirmed.
- [I-DA-MI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/I-DA-MI/index.md>) (ʾIda=mi): Ida, 'the Hand', the sacred mountain, with emphatic enclitic -mi. Candidate.

## Remarks

One of the earliest witnesses of the libation formula: A-TA-I-*301-WA-JA · I-DA-MI · JA, broken after the last JA. I-DA-MI stands where other tables name the deity or the mountain (JA-DI-KI-TU on IO Za 2, I-DA-A on KO Za 1). The record gives only a stone vessel; the stand-in shows a piece of the rim of a round serpentine libation table with the text running along the top of the rim into the break. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
