in 2nd sub col.: x?# may be a chip off the tablet surface
40. ga?#-a-gu-u = MIN#<(s,e-eh-ru)> du?#-qa?#-qu#
in 1st sub col.: ga?# resembles in outline other GA signs on this tablet, but proximity to crack renders precise determination difficult; in 2nd sub col.: du?# is very faint, a winkelhaken & final vertical wedge can be seen; if readings are correct, the sense would be: "infant?" = "small child"?
