## Word by word

| Word | Reading | Gloss | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| [A-DU](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/A-DU/index.md>) | ʾAddu | Addu/Haddu, initial heading; rival adû 'work assignment' | Candidate |
| [SA-RA₂](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/SA-RA~E2~82~82/index.md>) | šarra | queen/princess or royal establishment (recipient heading) | Candidate |
| [CYP](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/CYP/index.md>) | \[ideogram\] | cyperus, aromatic sedge |  |
| [NI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/NI/index.md>) | \[ideogram\] | figs |  |
| [VIN](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/VIN/index.md>) | \[ideogram\] | wine; 1 + A706 (conventionally ≈⅙?) |  |
| [GRA+QE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/GRA~2BQE/index.md>) | \[ideogram\] | grain subtype, possibly flour/meal |  |

## 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.

## Lexicon entries

- [NI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/NI/index.md>): figs—commodity ideogram (FIC). Confirmed.
- [VIN](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/VIN/index.md>): wayn 'wine'. Probable.
- [GRA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/GRA/index.md>): dagān 'grain, cereal'. Probable.
- [CYP](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/CYP/index.md>) ((logogram)): cyperus, aromatic sedge (commodity logogram). Probable.
- [SA-RA₂](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/SA-RA~E2~82~82/index.md>) (šarra): queen/princess; by metonymy the queen's or royal establishment (recipient/institutional heading). Candidate.
- [A-DU](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/A-DU/index.md>) (ʾAddu / adû): Addu/Haddu (heading); rival adû 'work stint'. Candidate.
- [GRA+QE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/GRA~2BQE/index.md>) (qemāḥu): flour/meal as a grain subtype; processed grain product for rations and offerings. Candidate.
