SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) kīma nabli muštaḫmiṭi emât (var.: ešât) teslītī (kīma) ṣāltu pu-úḫ-pu-úḫ-ḫu-ú (var.: pu-uḫ-pu-ḫu-ú ; [pu-ú]ḫ-pu-ḫu-u) supûʾa Ludlul I 116 ↗eBL “my appeal became (var.: was blurred?) like an ever ignited flame, my supplication was (like) quarrel (and) squabble”. Note that the NA witness IM.67628 reads at the beginning of the line probably [ṣa*]-⸢al*-tum⸣ only and not, as suggested in Hätinen 2022: 116, [ki]-⸢ma⸣ [ṣal-t]um (which is preserved in a LB sources; all other manuscripts are broken at the beginning).
