## Word by word

| Word | Reading | Gloss | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| \]RA₂\[ |  | broken fragment |  |
| [\]OLE+KI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/OLE~2BKI/index.md>) | kīnu | KI-type oil; perhaps standard or genuine-grade oil(?) | Candidate |
| [OLE+U\[](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/OLE~2BU/index.md>) | ʿuṣār | pressed oil (ʿuṣār) | Candidate |
| [\]OLE+MI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/OLE~2BMI/index.md>) | mišḥā | anointing or ceremonial oil(?) | Candidate |
| [\]SA-RA₂](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/SA-RA~E2~82~82/index.md>) | šarra | queen/princess or royal establishment(?) | Candidate |
| [GRA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/GRA/index.md>) | \[ideogram\] | grain | Probable |
| OLE+\[?\] | \[ideogram with lost adjunct\] | oil subtype, modifier lost | Confirmed |

## Commentary

GORILA I, 214–215 describes the upper part as damaged (sup. mutil.). The inscription is an oil-and-grain account, not continuous prose. Fraction D/A703 is ⅙ under Corazza et al. 2021; J is ½. The commodity subtypes are secure, but their proposed Semitic expansions remain CANDIDATE.

## Epigraphic note

GORILA I, 214–215 describes the upper part as damaged (sup. mutil.). RA₂ is broken on both sides; OLE+U and its quantity continue into the right break; OLE+MI is preceded by a break; SA-RA₂ begins at a broken edge and is not independently secure as a complete word here; the adjunct after the final OLE is lost. Fraction D/A703 is ⅙ under Corazza et al. 2021; J is ½.
