Discussion
Ass. evidence suggests a form rāmanu or ramanu, since the second syllable is subject to vowel assimilation (GOA 674 fn. 11f.; de Ridder 2018 §381). The late by-form ramnu also points towards a short vowel. On the other hand, occasional plene-spellings suggest a long (or stressed?) vowel (ramānu).
The previous assumption that SU is used as a logogram in KAR 426: 11 is now obsolete, since the passage is now read as SU.[GU₇] (see Heeßel 2012, 275 no. 88: 11′).
