Commentary

HT 23a, K-fraction entry between E 17 and sesame in an aromatics ledger; RI dotted (GORILA I 41). RI-TU-QA from √r-t-q ‘to tie, bind’: Ug. rtq (DULAT 737); Heb. ruttəqû (Nah 3:10), rətuqôt (Isa 40:19); Ar. ratq (Q 21:30). *21F the article ha-, as Punic writes the article h- or ʾ- (Krahmalkov 2000, 154). Weak point: the only article written *21F; no bare RI-TU-QA. One attestation.
