Commentary

MA 2c: ]-U-NA-NA 3, then ]JA-MA-U-TI 6 at the broken left end, sign groups possibly lost before it. Yamwut + -i, the Amorite JA-MWUT names (Gelb 1980, nos. 3370, 3375, 3625): MA-U writes the w of yamwut-, as DA-U-MI writes dawmi, where the cuneiform contracts it (IA-MU-UT-DA-DU); TI writes the root’s t with the -i of JA-KU-TI and JA-DU-RA-TI. Rival: JA- + Egyptian mꜣʿt ‘Maat’. One attestation. See MI-TU.
