## Commentary

Context: mixed commodity inventory under a repeated administrative heading. I-QA-*118 also heads a commodity section on HT131a. If *118 = ṬA, Arabic iqṭaʿ ‘cut, divide’ provides a formal and semantically relevant comparison, but no direct Bronze Age administrative use of the form is established; a personal or institutional name remains possible. OLE+KI and OLE+U have candidate interpretations elsewhere in the lexicon, whereas OLE+RA is unique and remains unidentified. The photograph confirms right-edge damage after GRA and VIN.

## Lexicon entries

- [NI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/NI/index.md>): figs—commodity ideogram (FIC). Confirmed.
- [OLIV](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/OLIV/index.md>): zayt 'olive (fruit)'. Probable.
- [OLE+KI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/OLE~2BKI/index.md>) (kīnu): genuine, standard-grade oil (kīnu). Candidate.
- [OLE+U](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/OLE~2BU/index.md>) (ʿuṣār): pressed oil (ʿuṣār). Candidate.
- [I-QA-\*118](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/I-QA-*118/index.md>) (iqṭaʿ): divide! (imperative of √q-ṭ-ʿ), heading over mixed commodities. Speculative.
