Logogram

Note

Pure vowel sign — no consonant skeleton, so standard root-matching inapplicable. Identified via distributional analysis: 80% numeral-following (8/10), 3 sites (HT, KN, ZA), late position in oil-heavy commodity sequences. Cross-commodity modifier (CYP+E, OLE+E, GRA+E) consistent with dairy fat as parallel fat category to olive oil. Cognate attested across all major Semitic branches. Deut 32:14 ḥemʾat bāqār is the exact construct form this logogram would abbreviate. Clarified butter (ghee) is the natural stored dairy commodity in warm-climate palace economies.
