Discussion
Pace AHw. and CAD not a textile (AHw. mng. 6, CAD allānu C): Read túgḫu-la-a-nu (MARV 3, 71 = StAT 5, 92: 1, see TCMA).
The existence of an occupation allānu is doubtful (AHw. mng. 7, CAD allānu B). For the NB letter ABL 1114 see now SAA 18, 87: 22 (SAAo), the reading of this line is uncertain as it is damaged. The personal name is also written logographically als LAM.MUR in LB, cf. LAM.MAR “acorn” (Zadok 2005) and thus belongs here.
