Proposed meanings
Each is one source’s proposal. A meaning has to hold on every text listed below.
- debateda divine name or epithet (?)— conventional
What this rests on. The most widespread element of the formula: libation vessels from several sanctuaries, plus a metal object (PL Zf 1). The alternation JA- / A- / zero is a recurring pattern in the formula. That it names a deity is inferred from its recurrence in dedications.
- speculative(an) offering— Salgarella 2025
What this rests on. Stands in the direct-object slot of the formula (Table 6, p. 46), and is kept in the shorter version on PS Za 2.
Role: direct object. Contradicts the reading as a divine name.
Proposed on IO Za 2.
- speculativethe tears— Schümann 2026, not peer-reviewed
Reads the fifth sign (AB13, conventionally ME) as ŽA, a value from the author's own phonetic reconstruction. The same sequence recurs on libation vessels from several sanctuaries; 'tears' has to make sense in each of them.
Proposed on IO Za 2.
