[92] Jensen, _Kosmologie_, p. 127, proposes to read Umun-pauddu. [93] Hilprecht, _Old Babylonian Inscriptions_, i. 2, no. 93. The name also appears in syllabaries as Shul-pa-ud-du-a. For the element _pa-udda_, see p. 103. In Nergal's name Shid-lam-ta-uddu-a (p. 65), the same final elements are found which appear to be characteristic epithets of solar deities. The first element in the name has also the value Dun (as in Dun-gi). [94] Jensen, _Kosmologie_, pp. 125, 126. [95] See _Journal Asiatique_, September-October, 1895, p. 393. [96] De Sarzec, pl. 8, col. v. ll. 8-12. [97] IR. pl. 2, no. 4. [98] Jensen regards Pa-sag as a possible phonetic form, but his view is hardly tenable. [99] See Zimmern, _Busspsalmen_, pp. 60, 61. [100] Cylinder A, cols. iv. and v. Amiaud read the name _Nirba_. [101] Just published by Hilprecht, _Old Babylonian Inscriptions_, i. 2, pls. 38-47. _Cf._ p. 52 [102] VR. col. i. 48. [103] See at close of chapter vi. [104] Hilprecht, _ib._ no. 87, col i. 30. [105] _Ib._ i. 32. Hilprecht reads Nin-a-gid-kha-du, but this can hardly be correct. [106] The two ideas, 'water' and 'incantation,' are correlated. The 'waters' meant are those used for purification purposes in connection with the magic formulas. [107] De Sarzec, pl. 32, col. ii. 9-11. [108] _Records of the Past_, N.S., i. 59. Amiaud reads the second name Im-ghud-ena and the third Gim (or Ur)-nun-ta-ena. The publication in De Sarzec favors my readings. CHAPTER V. THE CONSORTS OF THE GODS.
