Or pa-i]t.

Tentative, but no other bird names fit. In the few attestations of this name, the spelling does not feature plene -a- (IBoT 1.32, obv. 24; HFAC 76, 8′; KBo 24.130+, obv. I 8′).

Or a-l[i-li-; but cf. l. 5´.

pa-ri-i]a-wa-an seems unlikely from photo collation: traces of a second vertical wedge should be visible on the tablet if this was the broken sign.

Based on the previous line, one could restore ta-pa-aš-s]i-iš-kán, but many options are available: ḫalwašši-, kalmuši-, kaltarši-, marašši-, maršanašši-, zamnašši- (the latter is rare, however). We can probably exclude other names which are hapax: marašši-, ḫaššiḫarši-, wešši-.
