[13.] za ḥad aka-zu-šù kur-gal a-a dimmer Mu-ul-lil sag im-da-sig-gi
The stone of the sceptre of thy thunder strikes the head of the great mountain, father Bêl.
za equals abnu, “stone” (Br. 11721 and [Hymn to Sin, line 18]). There is another sign used more commonly than ZÂU to represent “stone”; namely, DAḲḲU.
ḥad (see on [line 1]).
aka-zu-šù: aka equals ramâmu, “roar” (Br. 4746). The meaning of RAM as ramâmu seems to come through mnemonic paronomasia by way of the value aka as equal to râmu, “love”. It is important to distinguish ramâmu from Ramman, an Assyrian name for Mer meaning “thunderer”, as well as from ramânu, “self”. ramânu self is often a pun on Ramman. zu (see [Hymn to Bêl, line 21]). šù (see [Hymn to Bêl, line 15]).
kur-gal: kur (see [Hymn to Bêl, line 3]). gal (see [Hymn to Bêl, line 14]).
a-a dimmer Mu-ul-lil (see [Hymn to Bêl, line 3]). In the Hymn to Bêl ([line 16]), Bêl seems to be called a mountain. The thought probably is suggested by E-kur of Nippur.
[14.] urša-zu àma gal dimmer Nin-lil ba-e-di-ḥu-laḥ-e
Thy thunder terrifies the great mother Bêlit.
urša equals ramâmu (Br. 8556). ur is a value of ḤAR which itself may mean ramâmu (Br. 8539) and ša is a value of DU which we know means alâku. urša must mean “advancing thunder”.
