Hi, Ritva


Sorry the dissertation wasn’t more helpful.

As to your question, I’m inclined to read “iunu” simply as “the pillar” or “the support,” (no Nun) since that is the meaning of “jwn” standing alone, and the only change is the addition of the nw jar, W24, which I take to be only a phonetic complement here, and the location sign (O49). Note that there is a practically identical word (without location determinative) translated as “column”; moreover, and Gardiner has O28, the pillar sign, as an ideogram for the same.
