SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) (comm.) i-ziz (BE) -eš : e-ze-zi-iš [š]a ez-zi-iš išassû šanîš šaqîš išassû Fs. Leichty, 153 r. 9f. ↗CCP “i-ziz-eš (means) 'furiously' (which refers to the snake) that cries out furiously, alternatively, (that) cries out loudly”. Commentary to Alu XXIII 54 where i-bi-iš and ib-be-eš are attested. The scribe's reinterpretation of the spelling in his Vorlage i-be-eš is thus incorrect and ezēziš likely represents an ad hoc variant of ezziš. ^new
