Discussion
See the disc. in Durand 1988; similary Heimpel 2003, 265. Durand 1989, 35 b. 26 (see also id. 2004, 189 n. 424; Stol 2008, 354), based on the idiom puḫra nadānu “to hold an assembly”, reads pu-uḫ-ra-tim … n[a-da-nim]. This is, however, unconvincing, because a) the same word in the same text is used with liqq[û], b) the mng. “to make an assembly for a god” would remain unclear, c) there is no other occurence of a fem. (pl.) *puḫra/ātu (note, however, a single ref. for puḫurtu (broken context).
