Commentary

HT 121 KI-RI-TA₂ OLE+QE+DI 10, heading the list, once. SigLA catalogs the sign as the single logogram A623; GORILA reads the ligature OLE+QE+DI. QE writes the qē- of qēmu ‘flour’, as in GRA+QE, and DI the di- of dišpu ‘honey’ (CAD D 161), as in OLE+DI: oil, flour and honey, as סֹלֶת וָשֶׁמֶן וּדְבַשׁ (Ezek 16:19). DI+QE on HT 101 joins flour and honey. Weak point: GORILA reads a ligature, SigLA the single sign A623.
