1WGL has several variants for this section so it is not clear what might be reconstructed here (see Weidner 1924-25: 12).
2The sign name reš appear several times in this text (see also ll. 4' and 11') and corresponds to the sign NIN or EREŠ. Usually this sign is referred to as e-re-eš; see Gong 2000: 166 s.v. NIN. The sign name u-ra-ša₂-ku is well attested for the sign IB. dNinurta is reconstructed here based on Weidner 1924-25: 12.
3See Gong 2000: 135 for the reconstruction of šu₂ but note that šu is also possible.
4The designation for the sign E₂ is usually bi-i-tum but this may be an Assyrianism (Gong 2000: 18 for the sign name). For possible representations of the sign GAL see Gong 2000: 123.
5The analytical writing in the third subcolumn contains sign names of the "reduplicated" type, see Gong 2000: 15.
6Weidner (1924-25: 13 fn. 1) reads -bu in the first subcolumn instead of ba4 after collation. There is a colon in the first subcolumn after the divine name and before the GAL sign. See Gong 2000: 16 and 120 for the names of ZA and GA₂, respectively.
7Weidner would probably reconstruct dNinurta at the end, based on exemplar A, but exemplar D has dŠamaš in the next line so maybe it is also dŠamaš here.
8Weidner 1924-25: 13 for the reconstruction of Šamaš here.
9Although subcolumns 2 and 3 are parallel to line 6', the pronunciation and identification are different. It is noteworthy that a male deity is equated with a female one. Both dNinsig and dZababa are considered children of or associated with dEnlil but otherwise the relationship between them is unclear; Focke (RlA 9: 384) writes that "die Gleichsetzung mit Zababa in der Weidner-Liste . . . ist wohl fehlerhaft," which then suggests that these lines were lifted directly from the WGL, perhaps as a scribal exercise.
10See Frahm 2011: 256 for a similar translation. The WGL-commentary CCP 6.7.A provides a sophisticated explanation around Ilabrat and Papsukkal.
11GIR₂'s sign name is usually rendered gira, see Gong 2000: 48. SU, the last sign in Ningirsu's name, should usually be rendered ku-u₂-šu or the like; see Gong 2000: 151 s.v.KUŠ, unless subcolumn 3 refers here to the sign ŠU instead. One wonders if the copy is incorrect and the NA should be UD read u4. On NIN with its shortenend sign name reš instead of ereš, see note to line 3'.
12Weidner is unsure about the god name in subcolumn 4 but Krebernik (RlA 11: 530) writes "zwei späte Textzeugen setzen S. mit Etallak gleich (KAV 46 i 12 // KAV 63: 46), der als 'Gefangenenwärter' . . . erklärt wird." In sign names the sign KUD is usually referred to by its reading SILA, "street" (Akk. sūqu), see Gong 2000: 175 for KUD with slightly different spellings as in this exemplar. The sign name for SAG is usually represented as sa-ag in logogram groups, but compare the analytical spelling for the complex grapheme SAG×A: šá sa-an-ga-ku a-a i-gub in Ea 3, 36.
13The DN in subcolumn 2 is completely preserved in CCP 6.7.B. Krebernik (RlA 8: 95) prefers NIGIN₂-AN to LAGAB-X, based on CCP 6.7.B. See Gong 2000: 197 for UNUG.KI written eš-še-gu-un ki-ki.
14The much-disputed sign U₂ seems to be interpreted here as bu11 since the usual readings of u₂ or ba₆ do not make sense with the pronunciation. For the various pronunciations of BA.Ú see Marchesi 2002. Although the sign name of BA itself is usually rendered ba-bu-u₂ (see Gong 2000: 104) it seems likely that in this case the sign name reflects the entire compound logogram BA.Ú. Compare the sign name na-an-na-ku for the DN Nanna written ŠEŠ.KI (Gong 2000: 165).
15The sign name appears to contain a mistake. The sign DU is only represented as du-u₂, but should be emended to du-mu-u₂.
16Shibata 2009: 36 reads Nin-sumun2. The sign name poses some difficulties. While NIN is again represented as re-eš or re-eš-še, the remainder appears not to account for the sign GUL.
17While very speculative, one wonders if subcolumn 5 included geographical information; namely, Lugalmarada, the city god of Marad, had a temple E₂-igi-kalam-ma, which was dedicated to "Ninurta as Lugal-Maradda at Marad" (George 1993: 104 no. 520) so one wonders if the 5th subcolumn contained the name of the city Marad. The traces in the copy are too ambiguous and must be collated before this suggestion can be evaluated but perhaps were meant to read AMAR as in uruMarad(AMAR)ki. The traces in the next line fit better for Marad since it looks like the beginning of AMAR is preserved, and dNinzuanna as Lugalmarada's spouse would indeed also be associated with the city. The following line contains dŠuzianna, who is associated with Nippur, and one could very tentatively suggest the wedge preserved is consistent with the beginning of EN as in EN.KIDki (Nippur). Equations with deities qualified as belonging to particular cities or regions are found in other god lists, see for example Schwemer 2001: 78-79 for an edition of K 2100 vs. I 1-41, which is a list of dAdad-names, including a number of names that are qualified as "dAdad of GN."
18dNin-zuanna written with the IM sign is mentioned in in Shibata 2009: 36, where he says this is the "usual variant" and cites Krebernik for the claim that "the writing reflects In-zuanna with disappearance of the consonant /n/." See also note above regarding AMAR.
19Shibata (2009: 36) writes "the goddess is identified with Gula in the multi-subcolumned Assyrian version . . . whereas in the list An = Anum she is identified as the 'younger wife" (dam bàn-da) of Enlil." See note to l. 18' for EN.
20Shibata 2009: 37: "in the Assyrian manuscript KAV 46+47, 21', which identifies the goddess [dTUG₂-nun(-na)] with Gula, as well as in KAV 63, ii 2, the goddess' name is written dKù-nun-na, 'princely pure(ness)'. This writing . . . is attested elsewhere in . . . the name of the sanctuary of Inanna at Eridu . . . but it seems probable that the spelling [in these manuscripts] was a secondary interpretation of the name of this goddess, since the goddess is otherwise always written dTUG₂-nun(-na)." The reconstructed signs are based off of the names for nun and na, see Gong 2000: 168 and 49, respectively.
21For the sign names of e/e₂ and a, see Gong 2000: 21, 48, 62. It is noteworthy that this line does not use bītu for e2, as above.
22If we follow Weidner 1924-25: 14, this line should have dDamgalnunna.
23If we follow Weidner 1924-25: 14, this line should have dDamkina.
24Following Weidner (1924-25: 15; see also Cavigneaux 1981: 86-87), this line should have an equation between dÍD and a deity whose name is lost in subcolumn 4. The sign name for ÍD is a-a ša₂ la-gab-ba-ku hal-la i-gub (Gong 2000: 135), (lit.) "the sign A (and) HAL inscribed into LAGAB." The reconstruction is entirely tentative without collation of the tablet. Exemplar A preserves a line before this that equates dAra with dUsmu but it is difficult to say whether this exemplar would have contained this line as well; the line might be preserved below instead, see line r,10'.
25Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dID₂-lu₃-ru-gu₃ki and a deity whose name is lost. As mentioned above, Gong (2000: 135) has ḫal-la i-gub as the name for the ID2 sign, but it is impossible to tell if the na is a misread DU without collation.
26Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dKi-sag₂ and dDamkina. See also Cavigneaux 1981: 86-87. Although the copy suggests SA, the sign name ki-ki gi-šim-ma-ru is expected here (Gong 2000: 173 s.v. SA₆).
27Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dasal-lú-dùg and dMarduk. For the sign name for ASAR or ASAL see Gong 2000: 198 s.v. URU×IGI. Compare r,11' for the possible omission of the sign GI.
28Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dAMAR.UTU and dMarduk.
29Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dzar-pa-ni-tum and apparently the same writing. The na in the third subcolumn may be a misreading for -tum, but in any case the sign name for zar (= LAGAB×SUM) is šá la-gab-ba-ku sú-ú-na i-gub (Gong 2000: 154).
30Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dna-bi-um and dNabu₂.
31Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dNabu and dNabu₂.
32Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dtaš-me-tum and the same spelling
33Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between da-ra-aḫ-tum and dsu-ti-tum, though the room for -ah-tum appears to be not enough in the copy. There is a god dAra = dUsmu, see note on line r,1'. If it is Arahtum, the sign name would also include reference to the signs AḪ and TUM. For the sign name of AḪ see Gong 2000: 100. An alternative ša₂ du-ga-ku nu-na i-gub for AḪ would need too much space.
34MI has usually a sign name gi-ik-ki-gu or similar (Gong 2000: 159). It seems that initial GI was omitted here. Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dmi-uš-šár and dsu-ti-tum.
35Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dKadi and dIldan. Weidner writes that the pronunciation of KA.DI is uncertain but the third subcolumn seems to indicate that Kadi is correct. [or does that extra A change the pronunciation?]
36Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dGAL and dIldan. The Elamites apparently pronounced dGAL as napiriša, see Hinz 1965: 354. An explanatory god list from Nineveh has the entry AN.GAL = Aya (https://cdli.ucla.edu/search/search_results.php?SearchMode=Text&ObjectID=P365765)
37The sign KUR's name is generally written kur-ru-u but that does not seem to be supported in the text (Gong 2000: 49). Following Weidner (1924-25: 15), this line should have an equation between dkúr-gal and dAmurru, with the pronunciation possible restored as [ku-ur]-ga-al. A Ninevite exemplar of An = Anum equates dKurgal with dEnlil (https://cdli.ucla.edu/P365749)
38The sign DI is usually represented as salkud in sign names; see Gong 2000: 108-9. The sign name for the sign KUD is based on the reading SILA; see Gong 2000: 75 for the various phonetic spellings. Following Weidner (1924-25: 16), this line should have an equation between dDI.KUD and dMandanu.
39See note above on line 15''. Following Weidner (1924-25: 16), this line should have an equation between dKUD and dMandanu.
40See note above on line r,15'. Following Weidner (1924-25: 16), this line should have an equation between dKUD and dMandanu.
41The sign name for MUŠ is written a number of ways, for which see Gong 2000: 162. Following Weidner (1924-25: 16), this line should have an equation between dNiraḫ/Šeraḫ and dBēl erṣeti, with Weidner suggesting [še-ra]-aḫ as the pronunciation but here Niraḫ is reconstructed.
42The WGL has dIsar-matissu here but that is not supported by the copy.
