1.1.3Graphic Features
Neumann 2007a:141 hesitates in dividing the sequence ]adaxuraze[, although it seems obvious based on the whole context that the sentence to be restored as: tide[i]m[i se=l]ada xuraze[...]xlatẽ ‘the son [and] the wife xla-ed (with nasal reduction?) (to/for) the xuraze’. What is less certain is whether the word is complete as is or whether there is still a part of the ending missing, e.g. xuraze[s or xuraze[he (?). If the word is indeed complete, perhaps there is simply a preverb missing in the lacuna, and therefore, a dative/locative plural would have to be assigned.

1.1.4Meaning
If the word is a formation in -aza-, an agent noun or a professional title would be expected from the xuraza-. A root xur- is furthermore attested in the personal name Xurijãna (TL 81.1) and perhaps in the word xurzaza-. Otherwise, no meaning can be assigned based on the current state of the data.
