plate_note

Same plate as p043-1/-2. Imperative block: Singular(m,f) / Plural(m,f) column headers directly above the data, Peal/Pael/Aphel row labels directly below — row and column alignment both confirmed visually for this block, higher confidence than the Perfect/Imperfect blocks' header alignment.

result

CONFIRMED — sg m/f and pl m/f all match in shape/pattern. Nöldeke's plate prints a second dialectal variant for both plural cells (m: qṭolw/qṭolun-shaped; f: a second -y-ending variant) that this record did not capture — not a disagreement, an additional attested form worth adding on a future pass.

tier2_caveat Shape/pattern level only, see p043-1's caveat.
