21. In (ḫūṣ) ḫīp libbi “melancholy(?)”
OBOB: Old Babylonian (ca. 2000–1600 BCE) DN ḫi-ip ŠÀ*-[bi-ka?] annummīʾam [l]iss[uḫ] ARM 10, 1: 7 ARCHIBAB “may DN remove your current melancholy”. Reading after LAPO 18, 421f.
SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) [šumma ḫ]uṣṣa GAZ libbi irtanašši Sakikkû XIII 135′ “[if] he is constantly melancholic(?)”. Diff. Adamson 1993, 154; Scurlock/Andersen 2005, 710 no. 14; Scurlock 2014, 116: 154 (interpreted here as “abdominal pain” or a “crushing sensation in his chest”).
12. Further Attestations
OBOB: Old Babylonian (ca. 2000–1600 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) 26 asû q[a]dū ni-ri-im gišḫi-ip-[p]u ul [ib]asšû ARM 22, 306: 11 ARCHIBAB “26 a. together with a yoke; there are no broken pieces (?)”. It seems unlikely that a lack of damaged parts would be noted in an inventory list. We therefore take ḫippū as referring to a specific part of the loom. new
