Commentary

GORILA I 25: .4–5 MA+RU · *118 5, the wool ligature (A559) before *118. CYP+E is a fraction rider (CYP ¼ measure), not a syllabic qualifier. *304 is read pidru(?) ‘fat’ (CANDIDATE). Unresolved: the two QA₂ compounds and the *118 word. DA-I 50 totals the allocations.

Epigraphic note

GORILA I 25: .4–5 MA+RU · *118 5, MA+RU the wool ligature (A559).
