## Lexicon entries here

- [VIN](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/VIN/index.md>): wayn 'wine'. Probable.
- [DI-DI-KA-SE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/DI-DI-KA-SE/index.md>) (Djed-ka(.s)): personal name, 'Her Ka endures' (Egyptian). Speculative.

- [A-RE-PI-RE-NA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/A-RE-PI-RE-NA/index.md>) (ʾa-repiʾ-rennā): Healer of Jubilation (Eshmun epithet). Speculative.

## Remarks

Cut near the rim of a large storage jar: the wine sign and 32, then six sign-groups, the last three separated by dividers. The unit of the 32 is debated. The stand-in shows the whole jar at a fifth of its size. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
