Commentary
A-DU is an initial administrative heading, but its distribution does not establish Addu/Haddu over an entity, place, or transactional interpretation. SA-RA₂ is better treated as a recipient or institutional heading than as ‘surplus’; ‘queen/princess’ or ‘royal establishment’ is the leading Semitic candidate. CYP is the cyperus logogram, not copper. Damage follows CYP 4 and NI 4; A706 is conventionally valued at approximately ⅙, and the final GRA+QE quantity is lost.
