Attestations search

att:bib:KAR 158

Attestations that cite a text. Type att: and a reference: the list shows the attestations in the order of the text — the reference (for a field search, the matched words), the entry and its meaning. Enter opens the highlighted entry at that attestation; Ctrl+Enter lists them all and searches CAD and AHw for the plain reference.
att:akk:šarrum

The Akkadian text of the attestation. Diacritics are ignored, so sarrum finds šarrum and ba-la-tu finds ba-la-ṭu.
att:tr:king

The translation of the attestation.
att:mus:BM 34160

Museum number. Spaces, dots and hyphens are ignored, so BM 34160, BM.34160 and BM34160 all match.
att:src:ebl

The project a passage is linked to: ebl, seal, archibab, cal.
att:period:ob

Attestations of a period, by the id of the period list: oakk, ob, mb, sb, nb, lb, oa, ma, na … A short id also takes its sub-periods (ob → ob_onwards, oblit, oblex).
att:lemma:šarrum

Attestations belonging to one entry, by its lemma or its entry id.
att:bib:ARM period:ob

Fields combine, each one narrowing the search further. This gives the Old Babylonian attestations from ARM; att:akk:šarrum period:nb the Neo-Babylonian ones containing šarrum.
att:KAR 158

Without a field, every attestation field is searched at once.

Commentaries

SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) (comm.) DD-stem (Doubled stem/Intensive) appaša !(text: - šú) ṣapir imât ṣapāru : ku-ub-bu-lum : ṣapāru : ṣunduru ṣapāru : lā tarāṣu CunMon. 49/2, 331: 11–13 “her(!) nose is pressed down – she will die (is explainable by) to press down (means) to incapacitate(?), to press down (means) to place askew, to press down (means) not to stretch out”. Commentary Sakikkû XXXIX (unknown entry). ^new

Discussion

The attestation RMA 174: 6 cited in AHw (now SAA 8, 154) belongs to kabāsu. Since it had been the only instance suggesting a/u-vowel class, the vowel class of kabālu is now undetermined.
