It was argued in Table XXIV that 𐀓 was a form of the dative suffix, alternating with 𐀔 and 𐀕 when preceded by 𐀖. An examination of texts 12-18, 29, 30, 43 suggests that in the sequence 𐀓 𐀗 also 𐀓 is the dative suffix since (1) the sequence is normally initial, (2) is unconnected with what follows it. In the case of the sequence 𐀘𐀓, Texts 1-11, 31, 37, 𐀓 is clearly part of the word, unconnected in meaning with the dative suffix, though doubtless homophonous with it.
