- LP 939: dḫ{l}(t) for dḫr.
- Commentary
- The “short stroke” which Littmann converted into a t is in fact the continuation of the longer stroke which he took as a l. There is a small dip in the surface which can put into shadow the join between them. The apparent continuation of the lower line beyond the join is in fact part of the crack in the rock which runs from the upper fork of the ḫ across the r and then back across the lower fork of the ḫ. Although not shown on the copy in LP the cross-bar of the y of ḥy is clear in this text though obscured by a chip in M 30.
