## Commentary

KH 9 .1 A-SI-SU-PO-A · VIR+*307[, nothing before the first sign, heading small issues of figs, cyperus, wine and *304 (GORILA III 35). The A-SU-PU-WA of ARKH 2, with SI-SU for the s and PO-A for the glide before final -a. SI-SU writes the ss of NB às-su-up-pu (VAS 1 70 ii 30; CAD A/2 349), SI's vowel dead, as DI-DE writes the dd of DI-DE-RU ʾaddīru. Rival: a personal or place heading in -uwa, beside the person sign VIR+*307. One witness.
