1Compare perhaps Ea II 1 [du-u] ⸢KAK⸣ ga-[ak-ku] = [ba-nu-u]. As suggested by U. Gabbay (personal communication), NU DÙ might represent the technical term ul ēpuš (normalization uncertain), discussed by U. Gabbay, Exegetical Terminology (CHANE 82) pp. 26-27.
2Cf. Ea II 195 zi-za-nu KUR = ŠU (= šadû). Compare An = Anu VI 248: d zi-za-nu⸢KUR⸣ = Amurru.
3Compare Ea II 199 gu-di-bir |KUR.KUR| = nu-kúr-tu. See also VAT 9541 (MSL 14 p. 261): lam-ḫu |KUR.KUR| ir-kal-la.
