Apparatus
2, 7, 10s²hrn could also be the noun "month".
3Jaussen and Savignac integrate ḏ]-Mrn. In the Minaic corpus Mrn as name of group or person or as name ending is frequently attested, but see also ʾmrn in l.13.
6the previous editors integrate w]rḫn, but as ḫrfhn is plural, we should most probably restore ʾ]rḫn.
7Jaussen and Savignac read ks¹wt "vêtement".
12qnyn (b)r (all the editors).
15Mlhm is attested once in the Minaic Corpus as a name of group. Here it is probably the frequent case of a name of group in apposition with an anthroponym.
