The grammatical assignment of these forms is unknown due to the fragmentary state of the context. In the case of īḫḫaš, a nominative singular/plural or dative/locative plural would be possible. As for īḫḫa, the options are a locative singular or a nominative/accusative collective.

1.1.3Graphic Features
Checked against the photographs in the Konkordanz. The word i-iḫ-ḫa-aš was previously read as [ … (-)n]i-i-iḫ-ḫa-aš (Carruba 1970a:33). The separation of the previous sign -ni from the rest is supported by the attestation of i-iḫ-ḫa within the same context (thus Soysal 2017a:84), which became available through the new join of O. Soysal.
