Commentary

HT 11b .4 RU-ZU-NA KA 30, whole and undotted (GORILA I 23), the fourth of five KA entries that KU-RO 180 totals, before SA-QE-RI · KA 30. Heb. rōzēn ‘dignitary, prince’ (HALOT 1210); Ar. razuna ‘was weighty, grave’ (Lane 1079) fixes the PS *z, which ZU writes beside ṯ. Woudhuizen (2016, 223–224) reads the same word. Rival: a personal name. One attestation.
