See the partly parallel BAM 4, 417: o 25f. Cf. also Sakikkû XXXIII 60 (GÚ.ZAL instead) and 61 (noting the appearance on the hip area and the thigh), both partly paralleled in BAM 4, 417: r 9′f. (all referring to Ì.UDU GU₄). Diff. Schmidtchen 2021, 187, assuming the form to be a rebus-spelling zal-lu:gu₄ for guzallu “scoundrel”; see Heeßel 2000, 370) since GÚ.ZAL is once attested in Sakikkû XXXIII 61. However, considering the partly parallel BAM 4, 417 (s.a.), which mentions only Ì.UDU GU₄, the form is probably corrupt. new
