  in 1st sub col.: CAD R, 325 derives < r=idu; not likely due to final long vowel in this entry
5. szit-tu = MIN<(szit-tu-ku)>
  in 1st sub col.: derive entry < szittu 'remainder', i.e., 'edge of a garment/hem'?; CAD R, 383 & AHw, 990 derive < rittu 'hand/claw'; in 2nd sub col.: entry cited CAD R, 325 sub r=idu B, 383 sub rittu A & AHw, 990 sub rittu(m)

7. sza2#-ha-an = sza2-ka-nu
  AHw, 1128 derives < szahan 'wohnen' (< WS); CAD SZ/1, 78 derives entry as synonym of Szakkan; CAD editors understand as entry as divinity Szakkan; improbable?

14. ha#-asz-tu = szu-ut-tum
15. pi#-rit-tu = MIN<(szu-ut-tum)>
  in 2nd sub col.: entry puns szuttu 'pit/grave' & szuttu 'dream', or is the former a mistake for szuttatu?

18. sze#-ep u4-me a-lik-tu2 = MIN<(mu-na-at-tum)>
