_^dimmer Nu-dim-mud-e_: we have here a compound ideogram as a name of the god Ea. _^dimmer_ is determinative before the name of a god (see Hymn to Bêl, line 2). _Nu-dim-mud_ equals the Assyrian E-a (Br. 2016). The usual Sumerian ideogram is EN.KI. _e_ in _Nu-dim-mud-e_ a vowel of prolongation (see Hymn to Bêl, line 3). _sal-dug-ga-zu-ne_ (see line 15). 21. _......... [pa(d)]-a-zu[-ne]_ When ..... thou speakest, _pa(d)-a-zu-ne_ (see line 10). Reverse 22. ............. 23. _...... la a im[-si]_ ....... with water is filled _a_ equals _mû_, “water” (Br. 11347). “Water” is a primary meaning of the sign ÂU, which at first consisted of two short perpendicular lines representing “falling water” (see Hymn to Bêl, line 3). _im-si_ consists of indeterminate verbal prefix _im_ and verbal root _si_. _im_ (Br. p. 545). _si_ (Hymn to Bêl, line 22). 24. _........ gi a im-si_ ..... with water is filled. _a im-si_ (see line 23). 25. _ìd ...... e a im-si ^dimmer [Šis-^ki-kam]_ The river .... is filled with water by Nannar. _ìd_ equals _nâru_, “river”. Sometimes _ìd_ is shortened to _i_ (Br. 11647). The value _ìd_ comes from the union of two signs A “water” and ṬÚ (Br. 10217). Moreover, ṬÚ with the value _ṭú_ equals _apsû_, “sea”. The ṬÚ sign, explained more minutely, consists of ḤAL “run” inside of KIL “enclosure”. So ḤAL + KIL = running, “flowing within an enclosure”, hence = “sea”. While _ìd_ means primarily “water of the sea”, it is much used also as a determinative before names of rivers. We have the name of the Euphrates in the next line. Perhaps the name of the Tigris was given in some one of the lines. The common Sumerian ideogram for the name of the Tigris is _ḥal-ḥal_, an intensified form of _ḥal_, which means “running” or “rushing”. The Tigris is thus very appropriately called “the rushing river”. The Babylonian _Diglat_ in the hands of the Persians took the form _Tigra_. 26. _azag-gi ìd ud-kib-nun-na-ge a im-si [^dimmer Šis-^ki-kam]_ The bright Euphrates is filled with water by Nannar. _azag-gi_ equals _ellu_, “shining” (Br. 9901). _azag_ (see line 19). _gi_ is a phonetic complement, chosen no doubt with a view to vowel harmony as regards the following _ìd_ (?). GI as an ideogram means “reed” (see Hymn to Bêl, line 24, _gín_).
