1.1.3Meaning
The meaning of the verb alba-(ti) is dependent on that of the derivational base alba- ‘?’, which occurs within the same context. In line 42, it seems to take the substantive wijedri as its direct object, which is in another context coordinated with the noun pasba- ‘small livestock’. In line 26, it modifies slama ‘that which has been turned into sacrificial offerings’ and is probably the direct object of the verb asxxa ‘I made (iter.)’ (pace Schürr 2016d:64, a nominative singular is not likely).
