1For {ŋeš}ma2-kar-nun-ta-e3.

2The etymology of this boat name (earlier nu-ru) is uncertain: see Cohen Cultic Calendars, 141-142, 231-232, 402.

3George MC 5, 137 translates the analogous temple name E2-sa-bad as "house of the open ear."

4See Veldhuis EEN, 188 and Scurlock SAAB 3, 130-131 for the potentially analogous {jesz}gešpu2/pesz/pesz10 in conjunction with the battering ram(gud-si-dil).

5Scurlock SAAB 3, 130-131 understands the {jiš}anše gud-si-dil as a saw horse-like frame for a battering ram. Perhaps in conjunction with boats the term refers to part of the frame. Note also perhaps the ANŠE ma2 du8 of the ED Practical Vocabulary MS 2340 (+) MS 2340/2 (+) Mikhail 2 20: 5' (Civil CSUAS 12, 209).

6The Sumerian entry corresponds to the {jesz}UMBIN/sig zi-gan of OB ur5-ra division 1, 316, while Akkadian entry may reflect a misinterpretation. For UMBIN = sigx, see Veldhuis JAOS 120, 391.
