2Note the remarks of Powell BSA 1: 53.

3AL may be a phonetic error for LAL₃.

4The apparent variant du₈ in SLT 16 obv. iv 2' lends some doubt as to the reading ŋen, "ordinary quality."

10See Brunke PhD 143.

11Is this an error for ne-mur-ra, for which see Brunke PhD 138? lemma ninda'iziHAR-ra is to be deleted; to be read ninda ne-mur-ra

12See Brunke PhD 132-133, who suggests that lugal may refer to royal measure or quality.
