Commentary

HT 13 .3–4 TE-KI 27½, after TE-TU 56 and before KU-ZU-NI 18, under KA-U-DE-TA VIN · TE · (GORILA I 27). HT 122a .3 TE-KI 2, before QA-*310-I 3 (GORILA I 207). HT 85a writes TE-KE 3 in the same set of units (DA-SI-*118, KU-ZU-NI), counted under VIR. Hurrian tagi ‘beautiful’ (Laroche 1980, 249) as a bare-stem name, as Amarna ¹ta-gi (Hess 1993, no. 164); the Ras Shamra form te-gi-še has e in the first syllable, as TE-KI does. Rival: PS *diḳ(ḳ)- ‘small’ (Ug. dḳ, DULAT 275). Two attestations.
