SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) tuqtarrib ṣindu pu-uš-ḫu ana pagrišu ša kulbābi lā īṭiršu ORA 7, 246: 8 “you brought bandage (and) soothing to the body of the one whom an ant did not carry away”. Oshima 2011, 247 with comm. on p. 264, connects the word with pušḫu I “rat”, which is less convincing (cf. also Mayer 2017, 27).
