The reading is a proposal and carries its tier. - Reading: piqitti - Confidence: Speculative. A proposed reading on a word too rare to test. Most occur only once. - Root: [\*paqād-]() 'entrust, trust' 1, 'miss, lose' 2 - Kind: Administrative - Language: Semitic - Signs: PI (pi) · \*34 · TE (te) ## Compared forms - Akkadian: *piqittu* — piqittu 'provisioning, control, muster, charge' (CAD P 388) - Hebrew: *piqqādôn* — piqqādôn 'deposit, stored goods', wəhāyâ hāʾōkel ləpiqqādôn lāʾāreṣ 'and the food shall be a store for the land' (Gen 41:36; HALOT 958) ## Attestations - [HT 116a](): PI-\*34-TE GRA 5 ## Commentary HT 116a PI-*34-TE GRA 5, then OLE 5, OLE+MI 1, *OLIV+TU 2: one of six entries under U-TA-RO · TE, each a sign group with GRA and a number, as KU-PA-JA, PU-RA₂, SI+SE, SI-KI-NE and QA-NU-MA. Read PI-QI-TE with *34 = QI. Akkadian piqittu(m), oblique piqitti, sense 1 'provisioning, provisions' (CAD P 388), from paqādu(m) 'entrust, assign, inspect' (Huehnergard 1997, 104, 614); the entry draws grain, oil and olives. Rivals: bayti 'house; temple, household, estate' (DULAT 243; HALOT 124; CAD B 282) with *34 = ai, an institution among recipients that include PU-RA₂ and SI+SE; a recipient name, as its neighbours. Younger compares ]PI-MI-NA-TE (AP Za 2.2), with *34 for MI-NA. One witness. Weak point: *34 = qi is a proposed value. ## References - Reading: di Mino; Huehnergard 1997; CAD P; DULAT; HALOT; CAD B; Younger, Linear A Texts - Huehnergard, John (1997), A Grammar of Akkadian.
