Discussion
See SAD D 2. The emendation to ú-tab-bi-la!-an-ni suggested in Arnaud 2007, 111 and 114, is unnecessary. Cohen 2013, 168 and 171 prefers a reading utabbikanni “rendered me limp”. However, the text carefully distinguishes qa (also l. 39) and ka (see it-bu-ka-an-ni in l. 38 as well as ll. 1, 17, 20, 21, 44); moreover, ll. 37–41 all contain antithetical statements.
