(^292) M has nominative līlâtu, against genitive (^) līlâti in the parallel sources. The full phrase reads: u Šukūdu
ina līlâti innammarma, “and Šukūdu is seen in the evening,” so the genitive form is grammatically correct.
The case vowel in M is therefore written incorrectly, most likely a result of the diminished function of case
vowels in this period. 293
A and GG refer to the constellation Šukūdu in the singular while E uses a plural verb. The subject itself
is written in the singular in all sources. On the unusual use of plural forms in E see note above. 294
The orthographic variant between A and E is not counted in accordance with Rule 3. Only the variant in
spelling 295 innammar between A and GG is counted in this instance.
See the comments in note above.
