Endnotes
1 It is no accident that this is the second volume devoted to honor him: see P. Michalowski, P. Steinkeller, E.C.Stone & R. L. Zettler, Velles paraules: Ancient Near Eastern Studies in Honor of Miguel Civil on the Occasion of his Sixty-Fifth Birthday (AuOr 9. Sabadell: Ausa, 1991).
2 Charles Fossey, Manuel d’assyriologie, II: Évolution des cuneiformes (Paris: Louis Conard, 1926).
3 Rykle Borger, Assyrisch-babylonische Zeichenliste (AOAT 33. Neukirchen-Vluyn: Neukirchener, 1978), p. VII.
4 This introduction draws from the biographical profile by Lluís Feliu, “Miquel Civil: d’exiliat cultural a sumeròleg,” Afers: Fulls de recerca i pensament 85 (2016): 631–663.
5 For a list of Miguel Civil’s publications prior to 1991, see his 65th-birthday Festschrift (Velles Paraules) in AuOr 9 (1991): 283–290.
6 Kleinerman (2014) explored mainly aspects of the role that literary letters played as part of the Old Babylonian school curriculum.
7 It is unclear, though, if such a thing is possible.
8 Ainsi LFBD Nr. 15 = AbB 10 : 15 etc.
9 L’expression ḫabtāk(u) « au secours ! » fait partie de la langue courante, comme le montrent les nombreux exemples cités par F. Joannès, ARM 26/2, p. 299 et Durand (1993), qui rendent librement l’expression par « quel scandale ! ». On entend encore très bien le sens littéral dans Eidem 2011 : 374, l. 9′′, où c’est un cri poussé par des prisonniers! Il me semble qu’on peut rattacher aussi à cet emploi šumma ana eqlim urrad lu ḫabitkum « s’il descend pour revendiquer le champ, qu’il soit ton prisonnier! », c’est à dire « fais-en ce que tu veux! » (de l’adversaire, et non du champ) PBS 7 : 11 = AbB 11 : 11, 22.
10 Le sumérien šub est ambigu : ‹ faire tomber › semble signifier «quand tu les mets sur l’aire » ou peut-être « quand tu les fais jouer de leur poids pour écraser les épis ». Comme dans ce témoin l’akkadien est primaire, on peut soupçonner – horresco referens – que c’est la proximité entre šuḫbut (akk.) et šubud (sum.), qui motive cette équivalence, qui semble unique! Comme le remarque Civil (1994 : 45), l’auteur force, dans les additions, la syntaxe sumérienne dans le moule de l’akkadien; il pourrait aussi avoir forgé ad hoc des monstres lexicaux. Comparer munu4 ḫu-bu-uš dug4-ab : buqlam ḫubuš « broie le malt » TIM 9 : 88, 11.
11 Tout comme dans la citation précédente (ex. 1a), l’akkadien n’est pas cohérent avec le sumérien, qui semble dire « les pattes des bœufs ne doivent pas être cassées » ou « elle (l’orge) est écrasée par les pattes des bœufs ». La correspondance n’est donc pas syntaxique mais purement lexicale (entre gaz et ḫabātu, encore une innovation, peu...
