## In Linear A

- [DA-RU-NE-TE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/DA-RU-NE-TE/index.md>) (Dāru-ʿAnēt): Anat is everlasting (theophoric personal name); rivals Dūr-ʿAnat 'Wall of Anat', and Egyptian Neith as the second element
- [I-NA-TA-I](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/I-NA-TA-I/index.md>) (ʿInatī): my Anat—theonym plus 1cs -ī; proposed "She Who Answers" (√ʿ-n-y)
- [KA-KU-NE-TE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/KA-KU-NE-TE/index.md>) (Kakku-ʿAnēt): Weapon of Anat (theophoric personal name); rival Egyptian Neith as the second element
