(^448) The genitive case vowel is expected here, as the infinitive follows the preposition: (^) ana pašarim iddin,
“he gives (something) in order to sell.” Reading an accusative singular in P would translate “he gives the
selling (of something),” which conflicts with the other objects in the clause: še’am šipātim šamnam u mima
bišam. See also the preposition plus infinitive with the case vowel incorrectly marked as accusative singu-
lar, 449 ana hulluqiam, in manuscript B at H18 above.
450 T lacks the final vowel in III weak √leqû, “to take.”
P reflects the shift of I /w/ > /a/, a feature already seen in late Old Babylonian texts (see J. Huehnergard,
Grammar 451 , 259).
P 3 +P 4 reads “še-[ ]-ti.” P therefore lacks mimation and also reflects [e] for /i/. For a discussion of the
latter phenomenon see note above and the references there. 452
P has the addition of an anaptyctic vowel in the III/1 preterite of √wabālu, “deliver.” See also H78 and
H166. 453
P exchanges the preposition ana, “to, for,” for aša (=aššum?) “concerning, on account of.”
