_ 198 nam-en-na_ = _enûtu_, priesthood. 199 A title of Nergal. 200 About four lines are broken away to the end of the tablet. _ 201 igi-da_ occurs also in the title of Sin, _igi-da-gál_, ZIMMERN, KL., No. 1 Obv. I 3 and 6. The most natural interpretation is to regard _da_ as a variant of _du_, hence “to go before.” 202 Written _túg_. _gu-šig_ is a kind of plant, on a tablet of the Tello Collection in Constantinople, MIO. 7086. For the meal of the _gu-šig_ see also CT. X 20, II 33 and REISNER, _Templeurkunden_, 128 Col. III. 203 Restored from line 14. Here begins the rehearsal of the woes of Erech. 204 Cf. also CT. 15, 19 Rev. 2 where a place word is also expected. 205 Cf. Gudea, St. B 9, 27. 206 Semitic _šattamma_ a title employed in later times apparently in a secular sense. Originally it has a sacred meaning and probably denoted a musical director who was also a priest. The application of a priestly title to the king is in accord with his royal prerogatives. 207 The sign is Br. 8899. 208 For _ni_ = _nu_, see SBP. 138, 22, _ni-kuš-ù_ = _nu-kuš-ù_; SBH. 70, 3 = 131, 48. Read _li_? 209 Text _GAR!_ _ 210 BAD_ = _kidinu_, has the value _uš_; cf. _uš-sa_ = _kuddinu_, Br. 5061. _ 211 e_ is here interpreted as a phonetic variant of _UD-DU_. Cf. also _e-dam_ in SBP. 118, 39. 212 This is the first example of this form employed as subject. 213 The text is difficult. _UN_ is certain but the sign _SAL_ is not clear on the tablet. 214 Text _SU_. 215 Phonetic variant of _gil-sa_ = _sukuttu_. The prefix _a_ is difficult and probably the noun augment, see _Sum. Gr._ § 148. The vowel _a_ seems to possess another sense in SBP. 284, 1. _ 216 gí_ = _piḫû_, confine, RA. 9, 77 I, 10; note also _é-a-ám gí_ = _ina bîti piḫû_, K. 41 Col. II 12. 217 Part of the door; see VAB. IV Index. 218 Variant of _á-taģ_ = _rêṣu_. The final _ka_ is for the emphatic _ge_ in the status obliquus (_ga_). This emphatic particle is here attached to the object which is not a construct formation, but the choice of _ka_ for _ge_ is probably influenced by the principle of employing the oblique case of the construct when the noun in question is in the accusative; see _Sum. Gr._ § 135. “Defender” refers to Tammuz. 219 The same title in PBS. V 2 Obv. II 23, _d__Dumu-zi šu-PEŠ_. POEBEL interpreted this as a variant of _šu-ģa_ = _ba’iru_, fisherman, and his suggestion is probably correct. We have, however, to consider the possibility of a confusion with _kam_ = _ukkušu_, the afflicted, SAI. 5082.
