220 The rise of the semi-vowel _i_ between the vowels _a-a_ occurs under
similar circumstances in _igi-ģe-ni-ib-ila-ia-dúg_, RADAU,
_Miscellaneous Texts_, No. 4, 5. See also _Sum. Gr._ § 38, 2. The
form above arose from _bar-ri-a-a-dúg_. The prefixed element _dúg_
falls under § 153 of the Grammar. _bar_ = _sapāḫu_ is a variant
_par_, to spread out, scatter.
_ 221 šub_, to let fall, _hence tabāku_, to pour out. Heretofore this
meaning of _šub_ was known only from the forms _al-šù-šù-be_ =
_ittanatbak_, SBH. No. 62, 15, and forms cited by MEISSNER, SAI.
8345. See also _šu from šub_, _ibid._, 8334 and _al-šù-šù-be_, MVAG,
1913 pt. 2 p. 49, 16.
222 The same passage occurs in Ni. 13856 II 13. _sîg-sîg_ = _šaḳummatu_,
variant of _sīg-sīg_.
_ 223 zig_ is probably phonetic for _šeg_ = _magāru_, see _Sum. Gr._ 258,
_zig__7_.
_ 224 lu_ from _lum_ = _dašû_, _dišû_, passim.
225 Cf. also PBS. V 25 I 15; II 13 _mu-na-ni-ib-gí-gí_.
_ 226 eku_ from _uku_ by dissimilation of vowels. See also REISNER, SBH.
77, 17.
227 For _ama_ = _ummatu_, _ummanātu_, see _Sum. Gr._ 202, _ama_2 and
WEIDNER, _Handbuch der Babylonischen Astronomie_, p. 86, 4.
228 See, for the musical instrument _AL_, _Sumerian Liturgical Texts_,
Index, p. 221.
229 Text omits _zu_, which is not on the tablet.
230 Written _KU-KI_ Cf. also CT. 16, 44, 80 _KU-KI-gar-ra-bi_ = _ ina
ašābi-šu_.
231 Enlil.
232 A reading _ár-im-me_, “it is glorified,” suggests itself. Cf. SBH.
93, 1.
233 Cf. TSA. 31 Obv. II.
234 See PBS. Vol. XII 12.
235 Cf. SBP. 295, 17.
_ 236 ul-ti_ = _ḫubuṣu_, “the lusty man,” POEBEL, PBS. V 136 V 13, with
which compare n. pra. _Ḫubbuṣu_, _Ḫubbuṣtu_, in HOLMA, “Personal
Names of the Form _fu ul_,” p. 50. Note also _ul-ti-a_ = _ḫābṣatum_,
PBS. V _ibid._ l. 12. The hymn to Sin, SBP. 296, contains in line 14
the same phrase.
237 Text not entirely certain. If correctly read the signs _ḪAR-GUD_ =
_kabattu_ must be read in SBP. 48, 45 after the variant SBH. 3, 10.
238 Restored from line 10. The only previous occurrence of this name is
in SMITH’S _Miscellaneous Texts_, 11, 1 which has _RI_ not _MU_. The
end of the name is broken in BL. No, 27. Perhaps SMITH copied the
sign wrongly.
239 Pronounced _udugga_ = _ṣaltu_.
240 The name as transliterated means _mudammiḳ musarrê_, “Temple of the
benefactor of writing.” In line 15 its holy reed is mentioned, a
mythical stylus symbolic of the god of wisdom, Enki, according to
SAK. 6 h.
