Commentary

PH 6: only within I-DA-PA₃-I-SA-RI, after the b= proclitic. The medial I writes the ʾ of ʾišar-, and the final -ī is the genitive a preposition governs (cf. la-piṭrī, PK Za 11). √y-š-r, the root of the formula’s yaššaram (JA-SA-SA-RA-ME); the nominal shape is Akk. išaru ‘straight, just, fair’ (CAD I/J 224). See I-DA-PA₃-I-SA-RI.
