1.1.3Meaning
The word allišunanni can be best interpreted as a compound with an abstract formation in -atar/n- of Pal. šūna- ‘to fill’ as the second member, i.e. šunanni dat. sg. of šunatar/n-. The first member of the compound could be read with the sign value liš instead of li12, which would yield a lexeme alliš- instead of alli-. Although the latter is more appealing, independent evidence is needed. Overall, the lexeme can be provisionally translated as ‘alli-filling’.
[D.S.]
For the second member of the compound, see 803 Pal. šūna-.
