NANA: Neo Assyrian (ca. 1000–600 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) na-gúr-ta-[ka] ali StAT 1, 52: 10 “where (is) the work [you] have been hired for?” See ib. p. 174f. new

NANA: Neo Assyrian (ca. 1000–600 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) [ana] mīni [n]a?*-an-gur-ra-te tallak StAT 1, 57: 16 ATAE “why are you carrying out works for hire?” Re-edited as StAT 2, 248 r. 4 with collation: [p]a?-an gur-ra-te “why are you going to...”, assuming an unknown new word gurru (also entered in SAD 3 as gurru II). The reading proposed here better fits the syntax. The recipient of this letter is not preserved, but the sender is almost certainly the recipient of StAT 1 52, where nāgurtu is also discussed. new

Discussion

The OAss. reference KTS 1, 3c quoted in AHw. is, with CAD, most like to be emended to an N-stem stative of magāru.
