## Compared forms

- Eblaite: *i-du-na yidu-na* — i-du-na yidu-na 'our strength' and other yidu names, i-du i₃-la yidu-ʾila 'strength is god' (Pagan 1998, rows 2460–2470)

## Attestations

- [HT 104](<https://linear-a.ai/texts/HT104/index.md>): I-DU-TI 20 ¹⁄₂ — entity name: 20½

## Commentary

HT 104 .2–3 I-DU-TI 20 ½, I at the end of .2, DU-TI at the head of .3, all three signs whole and undotted, the ½ dotted (GORILA I 171). Eblaite names built on yidu 'strength', as yidu-na 'our strength' (Pagan 1998, Ebla personal names, row 2466); TI is unexplained. Rivals: I-DU followed by TI as an ideogram, which GORILA's note allows; Ida, written I-DA-A on KO Za 1. One document. See I-DU-NE-SI and JA-DI.
