**Status: speculative.** A speculative value.

## Logogram

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Gloss | fat, lard, tallow (animal fat) |
| Commodity | PIDRU |
| Semitic term | \*pidr- (PS), Akkadian pidrū, Hebrew peder |
| Root | p-d-r |

### Note

Commodity ideogram in oil register between OLE and OLIV. The +PA form is A 629 in SigLA, a sign Schoep separates from A 304 (Schoep 2002, 123). \|\| SUSPENDED: the HT82 three-way conflict (transliteratedWords says \*304+\[ \], the tablet's own glyph is A628 not A653, SigLA reads the position as A653=\*401+\*304 ligature — a different sign) shows the PIDRU reading rested on the siglum, not the glyph. \*304 is read by glyph. The commodity/gloss/root/semitic_term below are the retired PIDRU hypothesis, kept for reference; not an active reading until a facsimile check of the A653/A628 mismatch.
