1.1.1Transmission

The only attestation of the lexeme was thought to be attested in a MH fragment of the festivals for DḪuwaššanna (DCL:11). It is located precisely at the break of KBo 29.33 und KBo 20.72. DCL:11 reads a-al-li-ni-i[n-za] but a reexamination of the photographs does not support the existence of the signs NI and IN. There is enough space for more signs, which can be identified as -na-li-en-. The form is assigned here to allinal(l)a/i-.
