Key to Exercise 7 from Allen

• 8

  Note: In the key, ignore ``).thethe''.

• 11

  Note: Transposition of w and j; cf. footnote 4 on p. 79.

• 27

  Note: Taking the second occurrence of sign I9 as the determinative for jtj (see footnote 1 on p. 71) would lead to a translation that makes little sense.

• 33

  Note: The transliteration mAjr in the key, which includes both j and r, renders the consonants represented by phonograms, rather than the actual forms mAr or mAj as found in dictionaries.

• 40

  Note: r(m)T is to be translated as "people" (singular), and therefore in the key the plural form in "peoples' worth" is incorrect. Read instead "people's worth".
