Commentary

HT 64 .2 ]NA 2 RU-MA, whole against the tablet’s right edge; only GORILA’s normalized box adds the bracket (GORILA I 118–119). rū-ma sign for sign as Heb. Rûmâ (2 Kgs 23:36). The bare form of RU-MA-TA rūmatā ‘the Height’ (HT 29, HT 99b), √r-w-m. Rival: a personal name of the Amorite RU-MA-TUM type (Gelb 1980, no. 5306). One witness.
