SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) šūtur ana ⸢di⸣-ib-bi-im-ma (var.: ⸢di?⸣-ib-bu-⸢um⸣-[ma]; d[u-(ub)-bu-ub-tim-im-ma?]) mašil ana li[lli?] Counsels of Wisdom: 7 eBL “he excels in gossip but he equals a fo[ol(?)]”. The var. d[u- ...] has been restored differently in Földi 2022 as d[u-(ub)-bu-bi-im-ma...]. However, the D-stem derivation dububbu (adj.) is not attested in such a usage but dubbubtu dubbubtu “(troublesome) negotiations; complaint(s)” might be a good candidate for surrogating dibbu.
