​APPENDIX P: 3-WORD FORMULAS

The formulas in this and subsequent appendices are original constructions. They are built from authentic Sumerian and Akkadian vocabulary, roots, and grammatical patterns, but they do not appear in any surviving text.

Some formulas mix Sumerian and Akkadian in the same utterance — a practice not attested in the ancient corpus, where the two languages ran in parallel. The mixing is this book's construction, using Akkadian terms where their semantic weight has no Sumerian equivalent.

In all formulas you can replace subject with: li-li-tu₄, ardat lili, kallatu mūši, maškim, a-lá, gidim, nam-tar, líl-lá, kaššāptu, asag etc if needed.
