Coming back to our passage in the Pennsylvania tablet, it is to be noted that Enkidu is described as covered "all over his body with hair" (Assyrian version, Tablet I, 2, 36) like an animal. To convert him into a civilized man, the hair is removed. Line 107. _mutu_ does not mean "husband" here, as Langdon supposes, but must be taken as in l. 238 in the more general sense of "man," for which there is good evidence. Line 109. _la-bi_ (plural form) are "lions"--not "panthers" as Langdon has it. The verb _ú-gi-ir-ri_ is from _gâru_, "to attack." Langdon by separating _ú_ from _gi-ir-ri_ gets a totally wrong and indeed absurd meaning. See the corrections in the Appendix. He takes the sign _ú_ for the copula (!!) which of course is impossible. Line 110. Read _us-sa-ak-pu_, III, 1, of _sakâpu_, which is frequently used for "lying down" and is in fact a synonym of _salâlu_. See Muss-Arnolt, _Assyrian Dictionary_, page 758a. The original has very clearly Síb (= _rê'u_, "shepherd") with the plural sign. The "shepherds of the night," who could now rest since Enkidu had killed the lions, are of course the shepherds who were accustomed to watch the flocks during the night. Line 111. _ut-tap-pi-is_ is II, 2, _napâsu_, "to make a hole," hence "to plunge" in connection with a weapon. _Sib-ba-ri_ is, of course, not "mountain goats," as Langdon renders, but a by-form to _sibbiru_, "stick," and designates some special weapon. Since on seal cylinders depicting Enkidu killing lions and other animals the hero is armed with a dagger, this is presumably the weapon _sibbaru_. Line 113. Langdon's translation is again out of the question and purely fanciful. The traces favor the restoration _na-ki-[di-e]_, "shepherds," and since the line appears to be a parallel to line 110, I venture to suggest at the beginning _[it-ti]-lu_ from _na'âlu_, "lie down"--a synonym, therefore, to _sakâpu_ in line 110. The shepherds can sleep quietly after Enkidu has become the "guardian" of the flocks. In the Assyrian version (tablet II, 3a, 4) Enkidu is called a _na-kid_, "shepherd," and in the preceding line we likewise have lùNa-Kid with the plural sign, i.e., "shepherds." This would point to _nakidu_ being a Sumerian loan-word, unless it is _vice versa_, a word that has gone over into the Sumerian from Akkadian. Is perhaps the fragment in question (K 8574) in the Assyrian version (Haupt's ed. No. 25) the _parallel_ to our passage? If in line 4 of this fragment we could read _sú_ for _sa_, i.e., _na-kid-sú-nu_, "their shepherd, we would have a parallel to line 114 of the Pennsylvania tablet, with _na-kid_ as a synonym to _massaru_, "protector." The preceding line would then be completed as follows: _[it-ti-lu]-nim-ma na-kidmes_ [ra-bu-tum]
