1.1.3Graphic Features

Checked against the photograph in the Konkordanz. Based on the photo, it is not clear whether the word ends with 〈ut〉 or another sign follows, whereas the autography seems to consider 〈ut〉 to be the last sign of the word. Carruba 1970a:26 and Starke 1985a:42 did not transliterate the word fully and did not recognize that the entire fragment contains the beginning of the column, making the leftmost sign the first one of each word.

[D.S.]

1.1.4Meaning

The word itūt- appears within the incantation of the last deity of the Palaic pantheon, i.e. the Uliliyantigeš. The fragmentary context prevents any semantic assignment.
