1Rubio JCS 62, 30 n. 2 understands Akkadian kilkillu as "probably a room separated by reed screens.

2For the meaning of Akkadian tūšaru in this context, see Rubio JCS 62, 30 n. 2. CAD T 495 understands tušaru in this entry as a fence or weir, variant gives {d}[...]-URU-MU

3This entry is cited by Civil Wilcke FS, 81-82.

4See Sallaberger ZA 84, 307.

5Two meanings of Akkadian erretu: "weir" and "pigsty" appear to obtain and overlap here.

8For this entry, see Civil FI, 122.

9Gloss occurs between determinative and IL2 sign.

10The reading of the broken sign or signs after the determinative is uncertain (AL# or [nij2]-sig#). = ka-da-ru, šugrû Ana ittišu equates with {ji}AL a-šag4-ga, Ur5-ra equates with {gi}nij2-si-ga a-šag4-ga also CAD Š III šugurru (a mat?)

11The Sumerian entry is illegible: {dug}la-ha-an-gid2-da is anticipated. For the uncertain meaning of Akkadian kanīku in this context, see CAD K 152.

12The Sumerian entry is illegible: {dug}la-ha-an-gid2-da is anticipated.

13Sallaberger MHEM 3, 104 does not vocalize the grapheme TAR.

14Sallaberger MHEM 3, 101 regards the second Akkadian entry as one word.

15See Sallaberger MHEM 3, 100.

16The Sumerian entry should reflect dug al-us2-sa: signs are illegible.

22This entry is cited by Steinkeller BSA 8, 52. There does not appear to be enough room for the suggested additional gloss {hu}.
