2. gir2-du = MIN<(szi-pat)> MIN<(sad-ri)>
3. a-ru = MIN<(szi-pat)> rug-bi
4. re-du-u2 = szit-tu-ku
in 2nd sub col.: derive entry < szat=aqu D 'split? (of hemming)' (cf., GAG #55 o 26)?; in 2nd sub col.: CAD & AHw read rit-tu ZID2/KU (CAD R, 325 sub r=idu B, 383 sub rittu A & AHw, 990 sub rittu(m))
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)
6. kap-pu = MIN<(szit-tu-ku)>
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?

11. ba-a = mu-u2
12. sze#-u = MIN<(mu-u2)>
13. e-re-szu = szar-ra-tum
in 1st sub col.: perhaps derive entry < er=eszu 'cultivate', not < Sum. eresz 'queen'; in 2nd sub col.: perhaps derive entry < har=aru A 'dig with a hoe' (cf., hirru 'furrow', pl. hirr=etu), not < szarratu 'queen'; contextual with words for water & holes, etc.
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?
16. mu#-na-ma-tu = mu-na-at-tum
17. sze#-ep u4-me = MIN<(mu-na-at-tum)>
18. sze#-ep u4-me a-lik-tu2 = MIN<(mu-na-at-tum)>
19. [sze]-e#-ri = sze-he-ri
entry has WS synonym is in the 2nd sub col., & the Akk. synonym is in the 1st

21. [...] = mu#-[szu?]-ma#
