4. Sdccanacu, 1st sing. Permansive acu is a shortened form 



from anacu ("Heb. "O^)- 1 A whole string of verbs of 

 similar formation occurs in W.A.I. I., 17, 32, thus: 



6ar-ra-cu I am king 



bi-la-cu I am lord 



na - a h-da-cu I am noble 



makh-khu I am great 



cab-ta-cu I am honourable 



sur-ra-kha-cu lam mighty (Heb. )T)D) 



a-sa-ri-da-cu I am eldest (the chiefest) 



ur-sa-na-cu I am prince. 



kar-ra-da-cu I am warriorlike 



dan-na-cu I am strong 



zi-ca-ra-cu I am renowned 



Dr. Delitzsch, however, would prefer to read sdccanacu as 

 o& kanaci, "prince of the gate," and refers to W.A.I. 

 IV, 16, 58, where the Akkadian 5^ ^Iy is equated 

 with the Assyrian fcf ^tl ^^J KI@f D - P - co-na-ct. 

 But on both cones the last sign is cu not ci.
