For this and further restorations in this paragraph, see previously Hout Th.P.J. van den 1995c, 190, Hout Th.P.J. van den 1998c, 192.

Hout Th.P.J. van den 1998c, 192 suggested [EGIR-pa], but the photos and the handcopy do not allow to verify whether some text could be written here. In a previous discussion, the author suggested a different solution, with EGIR-pa in the gap at the beginning of the next line, but the problem remains that the available space was very limited (Hout Th.P.J. van den 1995c, 190).

Hout Th.P.J. van den 1998c, 192: [SUD-ia-ši] (or [EGIR-pa SUD-ia-ši], less likely for the space constraint).
