MB-EmarMB-Emar: Middle Babylonian texts from Emar (ca. 1500–1200 BCE) qaqqada uzuge₅-eš-ša 1/2 errī alpi šarri māti ilaqqī Emar 6/3, 388: 62 “the king of the land receives the head, the kidney and one half of the intestines of an ox”. sim. uzuge-eš-šu Emar 6/3, 447: 3. Other texts mentioning the king’s portion have uzuELLÁG (“kidney”), once uzu ELLÁG-šu (Emar 6/3, 406: 2). This would suggest that geššu has taken on the mng. “kidney” in these text (Fleming 1992, 153; Pentiuc 2001, 52f.).
