Commentary

HT 13 DA-SI-*118 19 (wine list, beside KU-ZU-NI 18); HT 85a 24 (men, under A-DU · *307+*307, beside KU-ZU-NI 5); HT 122a 2 (men); HT 99b 2. Three scribes count it as a unit. ḏā ‘those of’, as in DA-NA-SI Ḏā-Naśiʾ, + ši-ṭa, Heb. šiṭṭâ ‘acacia’ (HALOT 1473), from *šint-, the n unwritten or assimilated. *118 = ṭa: s-t and s-d give no acacia. Weak point: *118 = ṭa is a proposed value. Four attestations.
