Note
Speculative. Ten tokens; two stand alone on MA 1 (a, b) without a numeral. *47-KU-NA, heading the ZA 15a wine issue, is sōkina 'prefect', with the vowels of the Canaanite gloss su₂-ki-na (EA 362) and the ō of the Canaanite shift. Linear A writes no other so; *324 claims it only at Speculative 0.30. *47-NU-RA-JA (HT 115a) is a person, Šū-nūraya 'He is light': so writes šū, as Ebla su-nu-ri₂ šū-nūrī (Pagan 1998, row 4282), with a vowel mismatch only. mo, from the AB15 gap, reads *47-KU-NA as mōgun- 'regalement'; do reads it as Dagan. so also reads PA₃-SI-*47 (MIL Zb 1) ba-si-so, basīsa 'meal worked with oil' (Lane 201). Linear B keeps *47 apart from *15 mo. HT 127a *304+PA-DA-*47-KU is unsegmented. Co-occurrence with MA, MI, ME and MU excludes those four values only.
