28 The twelfth _kišub_ of a liturgy to Ishme-Dagan is published in
ZIMMERN’S _Kultlieder_, No. 200. A somewhat similar song service of
the cult of this king has been published in the writer’s _Sumerian
Liturgical Texts_, 178-187. A portion of a series to Dungi was
published by RADAU in the _Hilprecht Anniversary Volume_, No. 1. The
liturgy to Libit-Ishtar in ZIMMERN, K L. 199 I—Rev. I 7, is composed
of a series of _sa-(bar)-gid-da_.
_ 29 na-ba-_ is for _nam-ba_, emphatic prefix. See PBS. X pt. 1 p. 76 n.
4. Cf. _na-ri-bi_, verily she utters for thee, BE. 30, No. 2, 20.
30 On the philological meaning of this name, see VAB. IV 126, 55.
31 For the suffixes _eš_, _uš_, denoting plural of the object, see
_Sum. Gr._ p. 168.
32 On _ki-dúr-gar_ cf. Gudea, Cyl. B 12, 19.
33 Usually written _dù-azag_, throne room. On the meaning of _du_ in
this word, see AJSL. 33, 107. Written also _dû-azag_, in Ni. 11005
II 9.
34 Cf. Gudea, Cyl. A 25, 14, the _kin-gi_ of the _unu-gal_.
35 Br. 7720. The sign _TE_ is here _gunufied_. Cf. OBI. 127, Obv. 5.
_ 36 Tin_ alone may mean “wine,” as in Gudea, Cyl. B, 5, 21; 6, 1. See
also NIKOLSKI, No. 264, _duk-tin_, a jar of wine.
_ 37 a-gim_ = _dimêtu_, ban, SBH. 59, 25. _a-gim ģe-im-bal-e_, The ban
may he elude, Ni. 11065 Rev. II 25. Unpublished. The line is not
entirely clear; cf. BRÜNNOW, No. 3275.
38 For _en-na_ in the sense of “while,” see PERY, _Sin_ in LSS. page
41, 16.
39 The sign is imperfectly made on the tablet.
40 Cf. SBP. 328, 11.
_ 41 ḪA_ is probably identical in usage with _PEŠ_, and the idea common
to both is “be many, extensive, abundant.” Note ZIMMERN,
_Kultlieder_ 19 Rev. has _ḪA_ where SBP. 12, 2 has _PEŠ_. _šu-peš_
occurs in Gudea, Cyl. A 16, 23; 11, 9; 19, 9 and CT. 15, 7, 27.
42 On _ugu-de_ = _ḇalāku, na’butu_, to run away, see DELITZSCH,
_Glossar_ p. 43. Also _ugu-bi-an-de-e_, V R. 25_a_ 17; _ù-gù-dé_,
RA. 10, 78, 14; _ú-gu ba-an-dé_, if he run away, VS. 13, 72 9 and
84, 11, with variant 73, 11 _u-da-pa-ar_ = _udtappar_, if he take
himself away. _ú-gu-ba-an-de-zu_, when thou fleest, BE. 31, 28, 23.
_ú-gu-ba-de_, GENOUILLAC, _Inventaire_ 944; CLAY _Miscellen_ 28 V
71: _má ú-gu-ba-an-de_, “If a boat float away,” _ibid._ _IV_ 14. See
also GRANT AJSL. 33, 200-2.
43 Sic! _gú-sa-bi_ is expected; cf. RA. 11, 145, 31 _gú-sa-bi_ =
_napḫar-šu-nu_.
44 Sign obliterated; the traces resemble _SU_.
45 Read perhaps _dū-šub_ = _nadû ša rigmi_, to shout loudly. Cf. _dúg
sir-ra šub-ba-a-zu_ = _rigme zarbiš addiki_, ASKT. 122, 12. Passim
in astrological texts.
46 The tablet has _MAŠ_. The Semitic would be _adi mati kabattu
iparrad_.
