1BÀD.ŠUL.ḪU “outer wall”: As noted already by E. Frahm (Sanherib pp. 190–191), it is uncertain if BÀD.ŠUL.ḪU is to be interpreted as dūru šalḫû “(inner) wall (and) outer wall” or simply as šalḫû “outer wall.” Borger, MZ p. 309 and CAD Š/1 p. 243 sub šalḫû A interpret BÀD.ŠUL.ḪI as a logogram for šalḫû; BÀD.ŠUL.ḪU is not mentioned in those scholarly sources as a variant logographic writing. The authors tentatively understand BÀD.ŠUL.ḪU as a logographic reading of šalḫû.
