Commentary

ZA 10a: a roster name counted 1, beside A-DU-KU-MI-NA from the same verb. First-person ʾa- + √k-m-n ‘hide, shelter’, the counterpart of Amorite JA-KMIN-I Yakmini (Gelb 1980, no. 2909). Rival: A- + KU-MI-NA ‘cumin’, which is measured (MY Ge 605 ku-mi-no Z 2), where this entry is a roster count of 1. One attestation.
