1Cited in CAD T 225 under tarbûtu, “status of foster child” (or foster child), “uncert.”

3Or perhaps šá as technical term.
4CAD I seems to understand line 21 as “irtānû” means “unique” and line 22 as “one who has a (big) chest,” an alternative explanation for irtānû (see p.183 sub irtānû and p. 278 sub ištēn). Alternatively, one could explain ištanû as šanû Gt.
5Perhaps from kitû, “linen”? [EJ]
6According to CAD A/2 311 and 317 and U/W 260a, eru stands for for arû A, “to cut branches.” This, however, seems unlikely.
7Quotation from Ḫg A 29 to Ḫḫ III [EJ].
8CAD Z 76 has other examples of the spelling Ì.BA for izūz.
9CAD N/2 281 s.v. nišitu, 1. installation in office; 2. glance (of a god, usually fav.); 3. “(unkn. mng.)” cites this passage. CAD M/1 389 s.v. maššitu means “delivery, ingredients.”
10The end of the line needs collation. The phrase is usually ša ina lā šāri inazzuzu, see CAD N/2 141a and Landsberger Date Palm (Afo Beih 17), 1967, p. 13 fn. 34 [EJ].
11See CAD Ḫ 244 s.v. hūqu D (mng. unknown) for discussion.
