(^254) According to CAD S 325-26 the proper noun (^) Sissinu, the constellation Coma Berenices, is frequently
accompanied by the gloss sisinu meaning “date frond, spadix.” Only BB supplies glosses for this name and
for the name of the city deity Eru (see M29). 255
The close association of both names that are glossed in BB is indicated by the astronomical text pub-
lished in LBAT 1510 11, which reads “E 256 4 -ru 6 ... sis-sin-nu ina qāt,” “Eru ... date frond in hand.”

A and BB share the same spelling of the present future verb išemme, “to fix, decree.” AA has a spelling
with final /a/, unattested in the parallel sources, while C and E reflect the expected ‘i’ theme vowel. For the
verbal root siāmu, “to fix, decree,” see CAD Š 1 362.
