Commentary

General: The only thing which connects this commentary to the DLL is line 2' [. . . q]í-na-a-a-ti qa-bi, as qinayātu “jealousy rites” is typical of this corpus. Frahm / Jiménez (2015, 329) note “An unpublished small fragment from Nineveh, K 13705, offers in line 2′ [… k]i/[q]í-na-a-a-ti qa-bi, but whether it is an actual manuscript of the commentary whose incipit our catchline provides remains doubtful.” This and more, line 1' is not found in the corpus of the DLL.

5': After zunzunnātu “shoes”, kapilu “leather strap” makes good sense. (Hence ka-pí-li, nor ka-bi-li which leads nowhere).

7': . . .u]š^?-ta^!-da-ba-bu-niš-šá, uštadabbabūnišša, must be parsed as dabābu-Št₂-pres., namely carrying a causative function, not passive.

8': After eBL commentary, maḫīru damqu “good price”, see SAA 10, no. 226: 12.
