1.1.3Meaning
Attested just once, the word is represented by a likewise unique logogram, whose shape resembles a building with a parapet, similar but not identical to *234 and *235. Laroche 1960c:128 suggests ‘tower, fortification element’ for all three signs, which is possible and tentatively followed by Hawkins 2000a:292. The relevant clause at KARAHÖYÜK (ELBİSTAN), §6 reads: *234 *235 *236 mu-ki-SUPER+ra/i SUPER sa-SUPER, approx. /… mugissari sarra sasarlatta/, perhaps translating as ‘He (scil. the aforementioned great-king Ini-Tešub) offered *234, *235 (and?) *236 up in payer’ vel sim. (cf. Hawkins 2000a:289).
