## Commentary

Recto of HT55a/b. GORILA I 107: .1 ]KỊ-RỌ · MA-RE 1̣[, .2 ]*301 1 · SI-RU 1 · NE-[, .3 ]TU 1[, .4 vestiges. Every line is broken at the left. The layout is that of the KI-RO lists of persons, each with 1 (HT 88, HT 94b, HT 117a), so SI-RU and the broken words are names; MA-RE is the title mārē 'lord'.

## Epigraphic note

GORILA I 107: .1 ]KỊ-RỌ · MA-RE 1̣[, .2 ]*301 1 · SI-RU 1 · NE-[, probably NE-KỤ[, .3 ]TU 1[, a trace after it, perhaps PỊ[, .4 vestiges.

## Lexicon entries

- [\*301](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/*301/index.md>) (nawā): pastureland, pastoral product (commodity logogram: nawum in administrative register, nawā in ritual/general). Probable.
- [SI-RU](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/SI-RU/index.md>) (ṣillu): shade, protection (personal-name element). Candidate.
- [MA-RE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/MA-RE/index.md>) (mārē): lord, master (title, an entry in a KI-RO roster); rival a personal name. Speculative.
