(^437) While the ventive marker in Neo-Assyrian can appear as ‘-a,’ and so might possibly be read here in J,
“if a suffix ... follows the ventive, its etymological -m- appears as gemination of the following consonant”
(J. Hämeen-Anttila, Neo-Assyrian Grammar, 92). The form in J must therefore be read as lacking the ven-
tive entirely. 438
As noted above (note ) the ventive marker in Neo-Assyrian is “a after a consonant or vowel belonging to
the root” (J. Hämeen-Anttila, Neo-Assyrian Grammar, 92).
