Commentary
Three lemmas in this fragment raise the possibility that this commentary is connected to the DLL: sipittu, mēlultu, and riksu, all key-words in our corpus.
3: riksu should perhaps be translated here not as “bond, knot”, but, as in the DLL, “ceremonial arrangement”.
4: For me.me = mēlulu in Syllable Alphabet A see CAD M/2, 16a.
