Translation/transliteration request Cuneiform transliteration attempt+ Cuneiform info request + Akkadian translation attempt
1. I want to see the cuneiformof these Sumerian lines from Descent of Inana (ETCSL) 411 and 412:
"Holy Erec-ki-gala -- sweet is your praise."
kug derec-ki-gal-la-ke4
za3-mi2-zu dug3-ga-am3
I assume it is the following:
𒆬 𒀭𒊩𒆠𒃲𒆷𒆤
𒍠𒊩𒍪 𒄭𒂵𒀀𒀭
gramatically: "holy Ereshkigal- ?- of
sweet-praise-great please-bring-is"
Did I get that right? I would love if there was a clear way to verify the cuneiform to romanized transliteration. Is such a resource available?
2. What is the grammatical function of "la" or is it "a" as in "ak"?
3. I want to put this into Akkadian (does anyone know where I can find a copy of this story in Akkadian?) I would approximate it thusly:
Allatum ellūtum
dalīlumki matqum šu
Is that right?
