agallu-demon 1 '. me-e bur-mag-a'. The form appears without vowel
prolongation, as in U1~_d·ba-úme='Ur-Bau am 1'3. é-anna-túm me,
'Eannatum (am) 1".
The form of the status rectus often appears with the rounded or
umlauted e, usually designated as o, and written a-e, see above p. 35
n. 6. nig mo'-e ni-zu-a-mu = 'that which 1 know' ~. kür-kür bád­
gal-bi mo'-e =' of the lands, their bulwark am l' 6. AIso written me-a
(mo) 7, SBP. 318, 20, mu-lu-mu me-a; me-a (mo) cl.dumu-zi-dé =' I
unto Tammuz (will go)', ibid., 328, 23. Qne must expect to find the

'the lord has sent me " IV R. 17 a 40.
The status obliquus is ma, ma-a=jasi'. ma-ra=ana jasi, used as
an accusative, SBH. 98, 29 and v. SBP. 120, 27. mo'-a-ar Ina-an­
dúg-ga, 'unto me he has spoken', SAK. 212 e 11 7. N aturally the form
me-en-na-ta = ana jasi, Samsuiluna, LIH. no. 99, 22 is an error in which
the false men discussed above, is employed for the status obliquus.
The plural is regularly formed by adding ene to the singular;
me-e-ne. me-en-ne sa-ab u-mu-un-tug-e-en-ne = 'we will pacify the
heart of the lord'·.

6. SBP.198, 11. Other references in BR. 5443.
7. This curious method of writing the rounded e by placing the umlauting vowel
e before the (j (a) must not confnse the stndent. The form is really a status rectus.
8. V R. 12 a 24, written both ma and ma. It is probable that HAUPT,
ASKT. 118 rey. 9, ma-cla should be corrected to ma-I'a = iasi; for I'a employed
in the sense of an accusative see § 82. n
