Commentary

KN Za 10 writes JA-SA-SA-RA-MA / NA across the side break without a divider, so the sequence is one graphic word. Amorite IA-SA-RA-AM attests accusative /yašaram/ (Gelb 1980, no. 3448), the Semitic manner accusative ‘uprightly, in righteousness’. NA is the emphatic or topical clitic =na, as Ugaritic -n or -(Vn)na (Tropper 2000, §§89.1–2). SA-SA writes the geminate šš, as in JA-SA-SA-RA-ME. Weak point: /yaššaram=na/ is unattested outside Crete. One attestation. See JA-SA-SA-RA-ME, JA-SA-SA-RA and JA-SA.
