1There is fine guiding line running down in the middle of subcolumn 3.
2The reconstruction of the end of this entry is based on Malku III, 135, which equates the term jadimātu with rubṣu (see previous line): the Neo-Babylonian ms. A (SpTU III, 120) from Uruk reads ia-a-di-ma-tu₄, the Neo-Assyrian ms. B (LTBA II, 1) from Assur reads e-d[i-...]; see Hrůša 2010: 368.
3See Ea I, 109
4The Aa-commentary CCP 6.1.2.B also contains the technical term KA.KA.SI.GA for a grapheme’s phonetic pronunciation. Here, lines 7'-8' should be understood as one unit.
5See Ea I, 111
6See Ea I, 114
7For this entry see Ea I, 115. Only the Middle Babylonian manuscript CBS has našāpu. The main entry in YBC 2176 (ms. A) reads na-pa-hu ša ŠE#.
8Ea I, 116 reads in the Akkadian subcolumn nu-us-su-u# šaŠE according to MSL 14, 182.
9CAD Š/II lists two separate lexemes for šassūru, which are phonetically related to the complex grapheme's reading /zansur/: (A) "womb, mother goddess" and (B) a designation for an insect. Aa I/2, 317 is listed under the second meaning. The fact, however, that in our text it is followed by tušaru (CAD T, 495 s.v.tušaru A), which is used to designate the cocoon of a caterpillar (cf. Ea I, 86: še-rim-sur : LAGAB׊E.SUM : tušaru ša nappillu), the first meaning is favored here.
10Since the preceding line deals with the semantic field of enclosures (womb, pouch/cocoon), it appears likely to understand quppātu (or a fem. sg. quppatu) as "box, cage" (see CAD Q, 307-310). Although there is no other direct lexical evidence for the logogram LAGAB×EŠ denoting this word, in the short Old Babylonian lexical text UET 6, 390 we read KIN.GUR₄ : ka-an-nu-um, qup-pu-um (l. 11-12) (i.e., GUR₄ = LAGAB). This, however, might only be a phonetic variant to more common GI.GUR. The last signs perhaps tu-šìr? [EJ]
11Compare Erimhuš Bogh. E b:9': BUL.[BUL] tu-tuna-ra#-[ṭu]. It is noteworthy that the sign DU is used here instead of ṬU.
12The first RA is written over erasure.
13The present text adds the G stem katātu, "to quiver," before šuktutu that corresponds to Aa I/2, 326.
14Aa is here slightly different: It reads in entries 327-328 ra-a-du and ra-ta-tu.
15This and the next two lines must correspond to Aa I/2, 332-333. The present text, however, appears to provide more equivalents. For the bird of prey called eššebu in Akkadian see Veldhuis (2004, 272-275).
