Commentary

HT 122a, after KU-RO 31: KU-DA 1, the one man that brings the two faces to PO-TO-KU-RO 97 (HT 122b; 31 + 65 + 1), a name added below the total. Amorite GUʾUD-A, written GU-U₂-DA (Gelb 1980, no. 1791), sign for sign with the glottal stop unwritten; KU writes gu. Sanmartín files gu-ú-da under gudd, gūd ‘luck; DN’ (GlOS 1, 175). Rivals: Kutta, Ku-ut-ta, a name NPN marks H.? (NPN 231); qāʾid ‘chief’ (#51; Sabaic qwd, Beeston 1982, 110). One witness.
