References

page 410 note 1 My copy has amara (the character for ra doubtful).

page 410 note 2 Sˇubalkuti. This probably refers to the first crossing of the threshold after the house's completion.

page 410 note 3 Dr. Boissier's translation differs from the above.

page 410 note 4 Omens from inanimate objects—the waggon or chariot, the date-palm, the bow (kaštu or tilpānu)—also exist, but these the author will probably treat of later.

page 411 note 1 Or aanni. As the words for ‘decided yes’ or ‘favour’ are annu kînu, it is clear that popular opinion regarded them as coming from the same root. This is also the case with ula and ullu, which may really be connected.
