Or perhaps a-al-li-l[a-aš(?); cf. obv. 6´.

Text: -l]i-la-aš. Based on the other attestations for ālliya- in this text, this form might be a mistake. However, note that a bird alili- also exists. For the possible identity of these names of bird see a discussion in Sakuma Y. 2009b, I, 394 (especially based on KUB 5.11 I 15-17).

Sakuma Y. 2009b, II, 613.

Possibly G]UN-eš, although not convincing from photo collation (cf. also GUN in rev. 14´).

One isolated line was written in this paragraph in a much smaller and barely visible script; a complete reading is difficult.
