## Commentary

KN Zf 13, gold ring HM 530: 19 signs in a spiral from the outer band inward, no dividers; RI (12, 15), MU (16) and KU (19) underdotted (GORILA IV 152–153). The last four signs are A-JA-KU, ʾAyaku (Amorite ʾAjak-u, Gelb 1980, no. 320); the first fifteen carry no reading, and the segmentation is not marked. Rival for the ending: Akkadian ajakku, a temple structure (CAD A/1 224–25). One document.
