Commentary

PK Za 8 ]NU · PA₃-E · JA-DI-KI-TE-TE-*307-PU₂-RE · TU-ME-I: PA₃-E stands between dividers before the vocative of Dikte (GORILA IV 24–27). bē ‘in, at’: PA₃, the proposed value /ba~be/, + E, the b- preposition, Ugaritic b ‘in, at’ (DULAT 196), Hebrew bə-, Amarna bi-. The divider after it is Ugaritic practice with a one-syllable proclitic, b. bnk (CAT 1.6:I:46), l. mlkt (CAT 2.12:1; Tropper 2000, §21.412a). Weak point: one attestation. See JA-DI-KI-TU.
