## Word by word

| Word | Reading | Gloss | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| [TA-NA-SU-TE-KE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/TA-NA-SU-TE-KE/index.md>) | tanašutē-kī | may [it] be drunk for you (f.) | Candidate |
| [SE-TO-I-JA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/SE-TO-I-JA/index.md>) | Ṣētiya | the Eastern (one), of the East | Probable |
| [A-SA-SA-RA-ME](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/A-SA-SA-RA-ME/index.md>) | ʾaššaram | uprightly (variant of yaššaram, ʾa- for ya-) | Confirmed |

## Commentary

Context: Peak sanctuary libation formula variant.

Formula structure parallels IOZa2 but with a unique verb form (TA-NA-SU-TE-KE instead of A-TA-I-*301-WA-JA) and ʾaššaram for yaššaram, as on IOZb10.

## Epigraphic note

GORILA IV 48: .c A-SA-SA-RA-ME, RA in the normalized reading, drawn reversed (the A802 form) in the drawing and facsimile; .a TA-NA-SU-TE[ ]-KE, a damaged interval of unstated length between TE and KE, both dotted; .b TO and JA dotted.

- [SE-TO-I-JA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/SE-TO-I-JA/index.md>) (Ṣētiya): the Eastern (place), a central Cretan toponym; rivals the epithet 'she of the East' and a pre-Greek toponym Setoiya. Probable.
