• DA-SI-*118 = ḏā-šiṭṭa 'those of Acacia' (HT13, HT85a, HT99b, HT122a; Heb. šiṭṭâ, HALOT 1473), counted in the KU-RO of HT13 and HT85a

Note

Candidate (0.60). The emphatic dental, the one dental with no sign of its own: DA writes d, TA t, ZU and the T-series ṯ. DA-SI-*118 writes DA and *118 in one word, and no word alternates *118 with DA or TA. Inside words it is syllabic: DA-SI-*118 counts in the totals of HT 13 (wine, KU-RO 130½) and HT 85a (men, KU-RO 66), and *21F-*118 stands among names (ZA 14, ARKH 2). ṭ reads both repeated words, DA-SI-*118 ×4 and *21F-*118 ×4, and QA-*118-RA-RE qaṭar- 'incense' (HT 96b) in the slot HT 96a fills with the AROM word A-*123-TE; also QA-*118 'flax' and I-QA-*118 iqṭaʿ, whose ṭ is Arabic and Aramaic (Hebrew, Ugaritic and Sabaic q-ṣ-ʿ; HALOT 1124; DULAT 705). d reads only ]QA-*118-SA (broken) and *118-MI; ṯ gives rivals only. No spelling variant or Linear B value checks it. Alone before a numeral, after a commodity sign or a separate entry, *118 is the talent (HT 12, HT 24b, HT 38, KN 2), as Linear B *118 L (Bartoněk 2003, 126; Killen 2024, 141); A-KU-JU-PA-*118 35 (PA 1) may be either.
