bērtu

The word BAD-ra-a-ti || BAD-ra-tum Ee VII 60 and BAD-rat || BAD-ra-a-t[ú] in Ee VII 64 is derived from bērtu “watercourse” in AHw. 122 (reading BAD = be), whereas CAD M/2, 146 derives it from miṭirtu “canal” (reading BAD = miṭ). Kämmerer/Metzler 2012, 292-294 mention both possibilities, whereas Lambert 2013, 126 and 486 (followed by eBL), reads bērtu in Ee VII 60 but miṭirtu in Ee VII 64. There is no reason to read differently in the two lines, and both bērtu and miṭirtu are possible.
