û ([line 16]).
ì equals amâtu, “word” (Br. 518, see also [Hymn to Sin, line 16]).
di-zu-ka: di equals dênu, “judgment” (Br. 9525 and [Hymn to Bêl, line 7]). zu ([Hymn to Bêl, line 21]). ka = nota genitivi ([Hymn to Bêl, line 1]).
ḥàr-ḥa-ra is the same as ḥàr-ḥar-a. ḥàr is a value of GUṬṬU, meaning ḳardu, “heroic one” (MSL. p. 174). We have had the sign with the value gù ([Hymn to Bêl, line 9]). ḥa-ra, phonetic representation of ḥàr-a, with the same meaning as ḥàr of GUṬṬU, plus phonetic complement.
ab-ba: ab equals tâmtu, “sea” (Br. 3822). The common word for “sea” is AB.ZU, written ZU.AB, meaning “sea of wisdom”, the abode of Ea, the god of wisdom. ab also equals aptu, “abyss” (Br. 3815). ab, “sea”, or “abyss” is a shortened form of a-ab, “water enclosure”, “water space”. AB with the value éš we have had ([Hymn to Sin, line 10]).
û um-me-ši-lá-lá ([line 16]).
[20.] nim-gir luḥ su-ši-šù mu-ra-du-ud
As the lightning, a messenger for terror, thou didst go.
nim-gir equals birḳu, “lightning” (Br. 9020). nim-gir literally means “high lightning”. nim equals elû, “high”. gir alone equals birḳu (Br. 306). The sign GIRÛ in its primitive form is a picture of a “dagger”. From the conception of the “dagger”, there is, of course, but a short step to that of the forked lightning.
luḥ equals sukkallu, “messenger” (Br. 6170). We have had the sign SUKKALLU with the value laḥ ([line 14], laḥ, and [Hymn to Sin, line 27]).
