## Commentary

SAM Wa 1, JA-SA SA-RA TE 10 ¹⁄₁₆, whose edition is untraced; it may be JA-SA-SA-RA across a line break, as IO Za 12 writes JA-SA / SA-RA-ME. HT 62 .1 has [·-·]-SA-RA, broken before (GORILA I 117). Feminine of SA-RU šarru 'king', as Hebrew Sarah 'princess'. SA-RA₂ may write the same title; RA₂ and the missing final -t leave its form open.
