SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) ušṭīb šaptīja kī(ma) daʾīmi ašṭā ⸢ṭàb⸣-tiš ātamu napraku nāpalûʾa Ludlul I 118 eBL “I sweetened my lips (viz.: made my words pleasing) (but) they were stiff as a lance, I spoke kindly (but) the respondent (remained) an obstacle”. See also the better attested ṭābiš “well, properly.” Against the interpretation as ṭābtiš “like salt” (as suggested in Oshima 2014, 85 and also indicated in CDA 412 ṭabtiš) cf. also De Zorzi 2022, 369–371 (adopted, for instance, in SAD 2, 111 ṭābtiš; Hätinen 2022; Lenzi 2023, 71). new
