Attestations1 cited

  1. ZA 14PU-NI-KA-*363 3bread, 3 loaves (*363 the loaf); rival a personal name

Commentary

ZA 14 .2 PU-NI-KA-*363 3, after *21F-*118 1 ḥiṭṭa ‘wheat’ (GORILA III 181): wheat, then pannag, as in Ezek 27:17. KA writes ga: punniga, the u-form punnigu (CAD P 83). The scribe wrote PU-NI-*363 and added KA small (GORILA III 181). *363 occurs nowhere else and closes the entry before the numeral: the loaf, as Akkadian counts this bread by NINDA. The wheat, measured, takes no such sign. Rival: a personal name. One attestation.
