Egyptian ḏd-kꜣ-rꜥ 'the ka of Re endures' (Ranke I, 412.17) with mtj 'the reliable one' (TLA lemma 853566): DI-DI writes ḏd as in DI-DI-KA-SE, KO kꜣ as in KO-SA-I-TI, ME-TA₂ mtj on TA₂'s value t. A locally made scarab from Sidon names an MB IIB lord Ḏdkꜣrꜥ, 'beloved of Seth, lord of Iꜣy' (Mourad 2014, I, 319; II, 149). Rival: DI-DI-KO · RA-ME-TA₂, Egyptian rmṯ 'people, personnel' (TLA lemma 450402), which leaves DI-DI-KO unread. One attestation. See DU-DA-MA.
