_ 175 GA_ = _našû_, variant of _ga (ILA)_ = _našû_. The figure of lifting the foot and raising the hand (line 30) to Enlil refers to the attitude of adoration assumed by the mother goddess as she stands before one of the gods and intercedes for mankind. She is frequently depicted on seals in this attitude; see for example WARD, _Seal Cylinders of Western Asia_, 303_a_, 304, 308, etc. 176 The suffixed pronoun _mu_ with affixed preposition _ra_. 177 Innini is compared to the _sudin_-bird in SBP. 6, 16 also. 178 For the optative use of this vowel, see _Sumerian Grammar_, § 217. 179 Dialectic for _du_ = _da_ = _ga_ (by vowel harmony). Note the form _ga-mu-ra-ab-šid_ with variant _da-mu-ra-ab-šid_, _Sumerian Liturgical Texts_, 155, 30 (variant unpublished). See also _Sumerian Grammar_, § 50. 180 For the idea, see also SBP. 292, 25-29. 181 For _ŠURIM_ with value _uz=laḇru_, see THOMPSON, _Reports_ 103, 11 and supply _u-uz_ in CT. 12, 26_a_ 22. 182 The sign for _enzu_ certainly has a phonetic value ending in _d_; note NIKOLSKI NO. 262, where the sign is followed by _da_ and ZIMMERN, _Kultlieder_, 123 III 9, where it is followed by _dé_. 183 See lines 3, 23, 31 and 44 below and lines 5, 14, 21, 27 and 34 of the parallel text in the volume cited above. 184 This refrain occurs also in _Sumerian Liturgical Texts_, 121, 5; 122, 14, 17; 123, 21, 27, 34, where it characterizes a lamentation for various cities of Sumer destroyed by an invasion from Gutium. The translation given above is preferable to the interpretation accepted in my previous volume. 185 Title of Sin in CT. 25, 42, 5. Note also that _dumugu_ is a title of Sin, II Raw. 48, 33, and CT. 24, 30, 5. 186 For _namga_ as an emphatic adverb, see _Journal of the Society of Oriental Research_, I 20, Metropolitan Syllabar, Obv. I 12-15. Variant _nanga_, _Sumerian Liturgical Texts_, 188, 1, 4 and 5. 187 The scribe has written _im_ twice. 188 Cf. SBP. 4, 6. _ 189 gar_ is employed as a variant of _kar_, see _Sum. Gr._ 223. For _gar_ in this sense, note _gar_ = _šaḫātu_, _nasāḫu_ in the syllabars. See also SBP. 198, 14 and note 15. The same sense of _gar_ will be found in Gudea, Cyl. A 6, 16; 7, 14; St. B 9, 16; Cyl. A 12, 25. 190 The third sign of this ideogram is clearly _UNU_ not _NINA_ on the tablet. For the ideogram see SBP. 284, 6. 191 For the adverbial force of _bi_ see _Sum. Gr._ § 72. 192 Restored from _Sumerian Liturgical Texts_, 123 31, and below line 45. _ 193 KA_ with value _du_ = _alāku_ occurs here for the first time. Variant has _du_ (line 33). This text supplies two more signs and makes possible a better translation. 194 Cf. _Babylonian Liturgies_, No. 78, 3. 195 Cf. PBS. XII No. 6 Obv. 11. 196 Identification uncertain. 197 The line is parallel to PBS. X 122, 13.
