Introduction

This small fragment preserves meager remains of a commentary text. Only one equation is certain: luḫ = salāḫu, "luḫ means 'to sprinkle'," which is seemingly elsewhere unattested. The rarity of this equation, together with the use of šanîš to introduce an alternative explanation, suggest that the commentary is not strictly philological, but rather of speculative nature.
