Discussion
Perhaps to be understood as bīt tuppašši “house of tabletship, accounting house, sealed storehouse”, see Sasson 1966, 135: n. 52; Archi 1973, 213; Arnaud 1966, 60; Beckman 1999, 183; Lackenbacher 2002, 102. It remains uncertain whether -šši is a Hurr. suffix (Sasson 1966, 135: n. 52). Heltzer 1978, 149 proposes a connection with Akk. duppussû “younger brother”. Sivan 1984, 215 connects the passage with dupaššu, which remains a possibility.
