Note

Dual-function sign: syllabogram /ti/ (AB04) + logogram TIʔIN when standalone with quantities. Abbreviation of TI-NI = tiʔin 'figs' (Candidate, lexicon). 12 standalone across 11 tablets, 6 sites. 58% followed by numerals. Quantities: ¼, 1, 2, 7, 13, 13, 100. Key evidence: ZA12a/b commodity cluster (TI 13 on both faces alongside PA and RU); PH30 fractional quantity (TI ¼); HT154 bulk quantity (*516 TI 100). Pan-Semitic *tiʔin- attestation (Akk, Ug, Heb, Ar, Phoen) confirms figs as inherited core vocabulary. Appears in Deut 8:8 Seven Species. Pictographic evidence absent (AB04 is not botanical), but the TI-NI compound provides the semantic anchor.
