(22b) Ulūlu (VI), eleventh day, third year.

1The translation takes ku-na to be from kunnu, “honored,” although one would expect ku-un-nu-ú.

2CAD L p. 47 describes lalgar as “cosmic subterranean water.”

3Two and three and one-third akalu are equivalent to approximately two and one-third liters. One pānu and one sūtu are equivalent to approximately forty-two liters (assuming a sūtu of 6 , see Powell, RLA 7/7–8 p. 498 §IV.7).
