Interpretation

Commentary
The word yd could also be interpreted as a dual *yaday. Nt{n} would be a noun cognate with North-West Semitic "to give" functioning as an adverb of specification. Ḫṭb would be a passive of the suffix conjugation of the verb ḫṭb, compare Classical Arabic ḫaṭaba "to demand, request".
