Extract

As explained in the note on p. 74, the reading of this name is uncertain, especially with regard to the second element, due, the other transcriptions being ul-e (the ordinary values of the two characters of which it is composed) and rue. I have chosen the transcription in the title because it seems to be the most probable and because, some sort of transcription was a necessity. Other possible transcriptions, due to what seem to be variants, will be found on the page which I have quoted.

page 86 note 1 The root is šub, one of the meanings of which is bašû “to be” (B.M. S.9). It is probable that the prefixes ba-e- “therein, thou” could also be translated by the imperative.
