Discussion
On the LB reading of the logogram sikiḪÉ.ME.DA (tabarru rather than nabāsu) see Beaulieu 2003, 384 and 388f.; Zawadzki 2006, 41. YOS 17, 307: 1 apparently uses both terms side by side: 1 sikiḪÉ.ME.DA na-bal-su "1 tabarru garment made of nabāsu wool(?)"; the exact interpretation of the line remains, however, unclear, see Zawadzki 2006, 41 fn. 84 The same text has syllabic tabarru in l. 3. 8.
