1 I have noticed only one obscurity and one apparent mistake. Pp. 14 f. give the impression that the phonetic value of the h-sound is as accurately represented by our h (which is quite reasonably used for transcription) as by the usual ḫ. This would certainly be a novelty and can hardly be intended? On p. 27 the examples devised to illustrate the genitive—sib-zi-udu-ka, the true shepherd of the sheep, and sib-zi-udu-na-ka, the true shepherd of his sheep—are surely, to say the least, unclassical.
