The second sequence a-ra-u-|da (KH 5.1-2) is a Hurrian 'one-word' name or a toponym Arau, with directive suffix -da 'to, for', or ablative suffix -dan 'from'. The name Arau (wr. A-ra-ú), analysis ar=av, 'I give (the boy)', is attested at Old Babylonian Sippar (Dekiere 6, 917 Beischrift).    Linear A wi-sa-sa-ne (KH 5.2) may well consist of the name of the mountain Wi¿äa \/ Wi¿ai¿a + the alternative Hurrian ethnic suffix -n(n)i\/e, 'The one of (Mount) Wi¿äa'.    Linear A wi-na-du (KH 5.3) may be interpreted as the Hurrian sentence-name P\/Win-ädu, analysed as p\/win-ädu and be translated 'Lift (the child), oh woman !', 'Pick (the child) up, oh woman !'. Linear A ku-pa-do (KH 5.3) can be analysed as an Old Hurrian verbal 'one-word' name ¿ub=ad=o=m, with root-extension -ad- of unknown meaning, 'He\/She (a numen) destroyed (the deceased child)' or as an Old Hurrian imperative ¿ub=ad=o 'Destroy (the deceased child) (oh numen) !'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9789083275451\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHurrians and Hurrian in Minoan Crete: Indices and glossaries 4\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9789083275451","offer_id":40637095313501,"sku":"9789083275451","price":91.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/18a3dc6d-498c-46e5-ba20-a18b11d5f50d.jpg?v=1775190872","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-decipherment-of-minoan-linear-a-volume-i-part-vi-von-peter-george-van-soesbergen","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
