2.13:14–15 bm.ty.ndr }itt.{mn.mlkt
The long form of the preposition b-, vocalized /bimaœ/ (cp. Heb.
Owm; Vb).
The word ty is difficult. Perhaps a donation or tribute sent along
with the letter (cp. biblical Hebrew yAv). Or, an offering made on
behalf of the King.
ndr /nadaruœ/, “they devoted?” This could be any number of
forms, if it is a verb. It may be taken as a noun in apposition to the
problematic /tayi/.
}itt is difficult. However, perhaps /}itati/ is related to the word
/tayi/.
