## Commentary

Administrative title rather than a demonstrated theonym. Sikinet /šikinēt/ matches SI-KI-NE syllable for syllable if feminine final /t/ is unwritten. Compare Ugaritic šknt 'female administrator, stewardess,' later Akkadian šakintu/šakinte, and masculine Ugaritic sākinu and Amarna sōkinu 'prefect/commissioner.'
