Commentary

HT 7a .3 DU-JA 4, whole and undotted, under QE-TI · VIR after I-RU-JA 3, a Hurrian -ja hypocoristic (GORILA I 15). tu-ya sign for sign as the Nuzi name Tu-ú-ia (NPN 156), its element -tuja Hurrian (NPN 268). Rival: Ḏū-Yā ‘He of Yah’, ḏū as in DU-RU-WI ḏu-luwwī and DA-NA-SI Ḏā-Naśiʾ, + JA = Yā(h), as JA-*21F Yāh (HT 28b). One witness.
