Parsing the Akkadian of BM 32312

Re Col.i, line 7:

Mercury’s positioning relative to δ Leonis may be compared to a very similar positioning of Venus on June 20, 568 BCE (cf. obv. l. 13, VAT 4956 where the Akkadian words “KUN UR-A” meaning “the rump of δ Leonis” appear.)

Accordingly, and after conferring also the following references:

1. Re ‘-is’ meaning “fiery:” The Akkadian Dictionary, searching for “ ic* ” / “10. išātu : 1) fire,“ I find “-is” being a likely reference to the brightness of Mercury, that is, “fiery;”

2. Re ‘GU₄-UD” being a certain reference to Mercury: Cf. BM 32312 Col.i, l. 7; Col.iii, l. 5’; Col.iv, l. 7’; VAT 4956 Obv. ll. 9, 10, 12, and 13; Rev. ll. 17’ and 20;

3. Re “ina NIM” meaning “in the east:” Cf. BM 32312 Col.i, ll. 7 and 12; Col.iv, ll. 7’ and 17’;

4. Re “ár” meaning “after:” Cf. BM 32312 Col.i, ll. 7 and 8; Col.iv. l. 15’;

5. Re “^mul^xKUN” meaning “the Rump star:” Cf. BM 32312 Col.i ll. 7 and 8. More particularly re “mul_x” meaning “star:” Cf. BM 32312 Col. ll. 7, 8, 11, 12, 16, and 17; Col.ii, l. 2; and Col.iv, ll. 1’, 15’, and 16’; and re “KUN” meaning “the Rump…:” Cf. BM 32312 Col.i, ll. 7 and 8; and VAT 4956 Obv. l.13;

6. Re “^me ŠÚ” being meaning “not seen due to atmospheric conditions, e.g. overcast, clouds, etc.:” Cf. BM 32312 Col.i ll. 7 and 8; More particularly re “ŠÚ” meaning “sunset, overcast, evening, etc.:” Cf. the references provided in Ann O’Maly’s work, at [p. 40,] [p. 42,] [p. 46,] [p. 72: #19,] and [p. 73: #21,]

I find a better translation of the transliteration of Obv. l. 7 of BM 32312, that is,

is: “Fiery Mercury stood in the east after the Rump star of Leonis was no longer visible in the atmosphere of dawn.”
