TEXT Harding & Littmann: tmlt rather than tm{k}tb. DISCUSSION King (1990: 653) commented: "The first b is clear on the photograph. The field copy has a k for the fourth letter although in the photographs it looks like a l as read by TIJ. ktb possibly occurs in KJC 442 as an element in a compound name".
