Example text
For other forms from (w}alju, note the Gt's itta-Iji (EA 239:11), li-it-ta-Iji (EA 239:20). Once in a Byblos letter there is the geographical name URU$i-rdu1-na (EA 92:33). Finally, there is the geographical name URU E-ni-sa-si 20 (EA 187:12) in a northern text (Weippert 1970:265; Rainey 1970:10-21, 91; 1975d:15). The second sibilant in this name is obviously 151 as demonstrated by the Egyptian transcriptions of this place name, especially Ca-y-na-sa-su (Edel 1966:CNl, 11). Although the value s i 20 is rare, it is known from lexical entries at U gari t (Huehnergard 1989:37) and occasionally in texts from Hattusas (Durham 1976:255, 312 n.
In each of those latter cases, outside evidence in the form of spellings in other scripts (Ugaritic, Egyptian) confirms the true consonantal structure. The interpretation of such forms as u-da-bi-ra (EA 85:68, 81) is difficult. In CAD 0:186 ff. the verb is reckoned as duppuru; the WS evidence would point to a root *dbr. Thus the question arises: which of these readings is preferable in the Canaanite letters? On the other hand, BI is almost never used in the Canaanite texts for be. That usage is restricted to only a few texts which employ it in writing the vocable be-Ii (EA 279:9), be-li-ia (EA 209:1, 6, 14; 212:10, II, 13); d.
MES SIR! / fmarl-ia-nu-ma (EA 107:42-43), Moran (1992:181 n. 3 and 182 n. 2; 1987b:305 n. 3 and 306-307 n. 2; 1992:181n. 3) has given up his earlier suggestion (Moran 1950a:166) that the sign groups at the end of line 42 represent KESDA = SIR (Labat and Malbran-Labat 1976: No. 152). His own collation showed two signs, not one, which seem clearly to be NI and BA. However, that particular line was at the bottom of the tablet and EA scribes are known to distort signs at the margin or edge of a tablet.
