This part of the lung, perhaps the diaphragmatic lobe (logogram KI.KAL), is not attested in the present corpus, but is known from canonical texts where it occurs in two forms, dannat and dunni hašî.[[192]]
192 That the two are synonymous is clear from Starr Rituals 31:32, 34:89 (da-an-na-at hašîm), and the parallel passage ibid. 124:11 (du-un-ni hašîm). For attestations in omen texts from Nineveh and Assur, see CT 20 45:12, K 3683+ (Lenormant Choix 88) r.14ff, KAR 151 r.12ff (written KI.KAL); ibid. r.17ff, 428 r.37f (written du-un-ni), and r.44 (written du-ni). In the texts of the first millennium it is often impossible to say when dannatu or dunnu is meant, because the word is normally written logographically. As a rule of thumb, however, it seems that whenever dunnu was meant, it was written syllabically, so that KI.KAL would in principle stand for dannatu.
