page 57 note 1 TIYADU (a plant, probably asafoetida) with the verb tiyanešk- (§ 14), and GIŠšarra with the verb šarrešk- (§ 25).

But KUB XVII 28, ii 33 ff. throws some light ori this point: “If against a man his friend lifts his tongue, or addresses the, gods (about) him”; and ibid. 40: “Whosoever has lifted his tongue [against me ?] before the gods, whosoever has addressed the gods behind my back…”
