1Originally suggested by Pinches in "Gilgameš and the hero of the flood", in PSBA 25 (1903), p. 200, implying that PNs of the form Ur-DN should be read Sur-DN, based the identification of the names 𒋢𒌨𒋢𒈾𒁍 su-ur-su-na-bu (https://www.ebl.lmu.de/corpus/L/1/4/OB/VA+BM#b%2B14) and 𒁹𒌨𒐏 ᵐur-šanabi₂ (https://www.ebl.lmu.de/corpus/L/1/4/SB/X#155). See also Sollberger who identifies 𒋩𒀭𒀏 in http://oracc.org/etcsri/Q001091.1.4 as 𒌨𒀭𒀏 in "Selected Texts from American Collections", and Steinkeller who identifies 𒎎𒊕𒋫𒌨 in http://oracc.org/epsd2/P123699.23.2 with 𒎎𒊕𒋫𒋩𒊏 in http://oracc.org/dcclt/P370391.5 in "(z)a-áš-da=kiššātum", in RA 74 (1980), p. 179. This reading has largely not been followed, see: Stephens, BIN 8 (1958), p. 12; Lambert, "Ur- or Sur-?", in RA 75 (1981), pp. 61 sq.; Lambert, "Ur- or Sur- again", in RA 76 (1982), pp. 93 sq.; George, The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic (2003), p. 150 n. 56.
