摘要:§1. The textual record
§1.1. Determinatives for both masculine (sign DIŠ =
m) and feminine (sign MUNUS = f) gender are found
before the names of women in some Nuzi documents.1
There are several occurrences of this in the archive of
Tulpun-naya, a group of texts mainly consisting of real
estate documents, records of title to movable property,
tidennotu contracts, and court rulings. Three of these
occurrences were noted by Pfeiffer (Pfeiffer & Speiser
1936):
(1) mftu-ul-pu-na-a-a in AASOR 16, 24 obv. 7, a document
where a father gives his son as a tidennotu
pledge to Tulpun-naya (scribe: Nabu-na‡ir).
(2) mfki-sa-a-a in AASOR 16, 33 obv. 14, a court ruling
that gives Tulpun-naya the right to marry off Kisaya,
a girl that she has adopted (scribe: Uta-an-dul3).
(3) mftul2-.pu•-un-na-a-a in AASOR 16, 38 rev. 8, a trial
that confi rms the right of Tulpun-naya to recover the
piece of movable property that she has lent another
(scribe unknown).
