## Attestations

- [PH 6](<https://linear-a.ai/texts/PH6/index.md>): I-DA-PA₃-I-SA-RI — Ida, in righteousness (toponym + b= prepositional phrase written as one word)

## Commentary

PH 6, an MM II tablet: I-DA-PA₃-I-SA-RI closes it, after I-NA-WA · A-RI and I-ZU-RI-NI-TA / A-RI. I-DA ʾIdā, Mount Ida, + PA₃-I-SA-RI bi-ʾišarī 'in righteousness': the b= proclitic spelled with PA₃ = /ba/ (dead vowel), medial I carrying the ʾ of ʾišar-, and genitive -ī after the preposition, as la-piṭrī (PK Za 11). Same √y-š-r as the formula's yaššaram (JA-SA-SA-RA-ME): PH 6 writes the idea with b= and the genitive where the LM I vessels use the adverbial accusative with mimation. One attestation. See I-DA, PA₃ and I-SA-RI.
