## Commentary

Corpus distribution favors a recipient, title, or institution over a 'surplus' gloss. HT105 supplies the strongest control: KA-PA and SA-RA₂ stand in parallel before VIR totals 234 and 235. The royal reading remains CANDIDATE because RA₂ is uncertain and exact Akkadian šarratu would require an unwritten final /t/.
