Commentary
KI-RO opens six one-unit entries, and KU-RO 6 totals them. A-DU heads the tablet as ʾAddu, Gordon’s Addu/Haddu; rival adû ‘work assignment’. RE-ZA is (ʾa)raz ‘cedar’, counted beside cyperus on KH 86; rival Luwian aruza, a measure. KI-KI-NA is Kikkina, as Amorite KI-IK-KI-NI. KU-PA₃-NU is Kubānu ‘devotee of Kubaba’, beside KU-PA₃-PA₃ Kubaba; rival Gupana. PA-JA-RE is Payare, Egyptian Pꜣ-Rꜥ ‘He (of) Re’, Linear B pa-ja-ro. DA-TA-RE is Daṯar ‘Old’, Amorite DA-ŠU-RU-UM (Gelb 1980, no. 1490), the name of DA-TA-RA on HT 6a; rival ḏā-ṯaġri ‘He of the gate’.
Epigraphic note
The face is substantially intact; minor abrasion does not require restoring a word. KI-RO introduces six one-unit labels and KU-RO 6 closes their exact sum, securely identifying the lower portion as an outstanding/deficit roster. A-DU is here glossed contextually as a possible work assignment/account (Akkadian adū/addū), with Addu/Haddu retained as an alternative. VIR+KA is a personnel class; kāribū remains a lexical hypothesis. RE-ZA is a counted category or measure. NI is figs, followed by Kikkina, a recipient or named entity. KU-PA₃-PA₃ is Kubaba conditional on PA₃=/ba/. KU-PA₃-NU is preferably a personal name or title, compared with Ugaritic gu-pa-na/gpn and Linear B ku-pa-nu-we-to; Kubānu ‘devotee/priest of Kubaba’ remains an alternative project hypothesis. PA-JA-RE is the Minoan name Payare, supported by Linear B pa-ja-ro. SA-MA-RO is Samarō, with Northwest Semitic and Egyptian comparisons. KA-JU and DA-TA-RE remain unread labels.
