O lord, the mouth of production thou openest, as a prolific city thou goest, the reed of the fulness of life thou art!
ù-mu-un ([line 1]).
ka: KÂGU here is a noun with the value ka equal to pû, “mouth”, (Br. 538). The sign originally represented the head, and its first meaning was gu equal to ḳibû. The sign is old Babylonian (see on lines [1] and [4]).
na-àm-gá is a noun. na-àm is an abstract prefix ([line 1]). gá equals šakânu, “cause to be”, (Br. 5421). The sign is PISANNU. We have had the sign phonetically represented by ma-al ([line 11]) used as a suffix. Here gá is not a suffix, but the root.
iz-ba is a verb. iz is an indeterminate prefix, shown by the context to be of the second person. ba equals pitû, “open”. The sign is old Babylonian. The archaic form of the sign signified “divide”.
eri (see on [line 13]).
ga (see [line 12]). ga can be used as an adjective meaning “prolific”, one of the derived ideas of ga as “milk”.
mu-e-gin (see [line 23]).
gín equals ḳanû, “reed”. The sign is sometimes followed by the phonetic complement na. The sign is old Babylonian.
