1See below lines o 6'-7'.
2The bird name našpartu is a hapax legomenon, see CAD N/2 76b.
3The line is restored with Antagal III 211.
4The name of this bird, perhaps an owl, literally means "it lies down and pretends to be dead": see CAD I/J 304.
5The bird name ayyû is a hapax legomenon, see CAD A/1 236b.
6The equation ÍGIRAmušen = igirû is attested in Diri IV 303 and Ḫarra XVIII E 14f: see CAD I/J 41 and AHw 367a.
7alādu seems to constitute an explanation of babālu (as interpreted in CAD A/1 288b), rather than a different entry.
8The bird name kubsī-barmat means literally "my cap is multicolored."
9Restored from Ḫḫ XIV 350 (MSL 8/2 38).
10The gloss on UDU? KUR appears in smaller script in the following line. CAD Ṣ 163b and AHw 1097b read the line as DIB KUR : ṣi-bit!, but the traces suggest rather ṣe-e, as drawn by Meek. Stol CM 36 (2007) p. 14 takes this line to be "a the catchline at the end of a ṣātu commentary on Šumma Ālu Tablet 76," but this is not the end of the commentary.
11The faint traces of this line may represent a short colophon.
