## Commentary

HT 10b .1 U-TI 1, whole; the stroke inside TI is a palimpsest trace (GORILA I 21). First entry, before DA-RE 2 and TA-RI-NA 15. Utti, as Alalakh Ú-ti (AlT 414.7,17; Niedorf 2008, 309) and Ú-ut-ti (AlT 341.2,3; Niedorf 2008, 492), and Nuzi Uttija, var. Ú-ti-ia (NPN 169), the geminate unwritten; NPN 273 marks the stem H.? Rival: the Anatolian name Utti (LAMAN 4804, after Laroche, NH 1456). One witness.
