It takes the commodity-label slot of GRA (dagān), OLE (šamnu), VIN (wayn) and CYP (cyperus) and names the pastoral class: nawum, with mimation (Mari na-wu-um, GlOS 2, 116), the land-use term for uncultivated pastureland and its goods, livestock, wool and dairy, against cultivated cereals (GRA) and orchard products (OLE, OLIV, VIN). In ritual use the same root gives nawā 'dwelling, abode', compared with Greek ναός 'temple'. The syllabic value na is acrophonic, the first syllable of nawā(n), as cuneiform É bītu 'house' gives bi; the formula verb A-TA-I-*301-WA-JA, from the same √n-w-y, writes *301 where NA would serve. See NU-WI. ## Same root - [A-TA-I-\*301-WA-JA]() (ʾatainawaya) - [A-TA-I-\*301-WA-E]() (ʾatainawē) - [I-NA-WA]() (ʾi-nawā) - [NU-WI]() (nōwē) ## References - Reading: di Mino - Rendsburg, Gary A.
