Commentary

ZA 15a .4 MI-ZA-SE 3, first entry under ME+VIN in a wine issue, beside *363-KE-MA-SE Šakma-se (GORILA III 183). The corvée word of MA-ZA mazza (ZA 10b) and ME-ZA massu (HT 10a, HT 85b), MI for ma is a vowel mismatch only. -SE the terminative ‘to, for’: Akkadian -iš = ana + genitive (Huehnergard 2011, 311). Rival gloss ‘(men) of the corvée’, -SE as the Luwian possessive -ass(a/i)- (Yakubovich 2015, 13); rival name the Edomite Mizzâ (Gen 36:13).
