A = šuttmku, pattû and qubû (Br. 2535-7), while GI. ˇÚ. BIL. LAL is pattû, perhaps not the same (Br. 2505). The suggestion that it might mean ‘tinder’ has no philological support.

^{page 92 note 1} Note how, when he is building his palace on Quyunjiq, he speaks of ‘the former palace’, which he cleared away: but he also speaks of ‘a former palace’, when he rebuilds the Bit Kutalli on Nebi Yunus. There can, however, hardly be a confusion between the two in the descriptions of the gates, as in every case ‘the former palace’ must surely apply to that on Nebi Yunus.

^{page 92 note 2} For mušalum as ‘stairway’ see Andrae, , Das wiedererstandene Assurt 214 Google Scholar; Archaeohgia, ibid. 112. The ‘Gate of the Mušlalunm’ in the NE. wall was also a stairway, connected with the asakku-disease perhaps because of the road leading to a sulphur spring (see Archaeologia, ibid.).
