ana TI-šú BA*1

1BA*: The published edition has BA[!]-[?]. The sign/signs are not legible on the published photograph, but the unpublished copy by D.E. McCown has simply BA, with what appear to be two vertical wedges at the end of the sign, rather than one. The copy also indicates that the ŠÚ of line 2 has two vertical wedges. Could the engraver’s tool have slipped in both places?
