[29] Or
_azzammim_?
Epic of Gilgamesh
[22] Cf. Code of Hammurapi IV 52 and Streck in _Babyloniaca_ II 177.
[23] Restored from Tab. I Col. IV 21.
[24] Cf. Dhorme _Choix de Textes Religieux_ 198, 33.
[25] _namastu_ a late form which has followed the analogy of _restu_
in assuming the feminine _t_ as part of the root. The long _u_ is
due to analogy with _namassu_ a Sumerian loan-word with nisbe ending.
[26] Room for a small sign only, perhaps _A; maiak_? For _maka_,
there, see BEHRENS, LSS. II page 1 and index.
[27] Infinitive "to shepherd"; see also Poebel, PBS. V 106 I,
_ri-ia-u_, _ri-te-ia-u_.
[28] The text has clearly _AD-RI_.
[29] Or _azzammim_? The word is probably an adverb; hardly a word
for cup, mug (? ? ).
[30] _it_ is uncertain and _ta_ more likely than _us_. One expects
_ittabriru_. Cf. _muttabrirru_, CT. 17, 15, 2; _littatabrar_, EBELING,
KTA. 69, 4.
[31] For _sapparu_. Text and interpretation uncertain. _uttappis_
II2 from _tapasu_, Hebrew _tapas_, seize.
[32] Text _ta_!
[33] On _ekesu_, drive away, see Zimmern, _Shurpu_, p. 56.
