Note

Commodity ideogram on MA10 4-sided bar (all 4 faces) alongside *413+SU, *405+Ω, *402+A, *414+F—a catalog of complemented ideograms. PS *ʔigān- 'cup, bowl': Arabic preserves /i/-class vowel (ʔiggānat-); NWS /i/→/ē/ lowering yields /ʔēgān/; aleph drops → complement E = /ʔē-/. Hebrew shifted to /a/ (ʔaggān, Exod 24:6, Song 7:3, Isa 22:24). PH9b *412-VS-VIN = wine bowl. Distinct from *406VAS=KĀS (cup)—ʔaggān is larger basin type. TI+*412VAS = subtype (TI prefix, cf. Linear B variety marking).
