Commentary
Single-word devotional dedication on clay vessel. Second morphological variant of the A-TA-NA paradigm: feminine absolute A-TA-NA-TE (ZA10a), 1cs possessive A-TA-NA-JE (THEZb6). Parallels PU₂-RE-JA = burē(t)yā ‘my Creatress’. Cross-site attestation confirms productive derivation from √y-t-n.
