Philology: A name for Mercury in the commentary K. 4387 = IIR 47 ii 22: GIBa-hu-udGIB = dUDU.IDIM.GU4.UTU.  The sign GIBxGIB glossed with the reading a-hu-ud apparently comes from the sense of GIB = parāku, which has the sense of to lie laterally across the sky in astronomical contexts (CAD P 154-155); hence Mercury which stands at the horizon at sunrise or sunset.  For the reading GIB see the gloss GILgi-ibpa-ra-ku (CAD P 153).

Sources Identifications
  • Identity: UDU.IDIM.GU4.UD = dAḪUD (glossary: a-ḫu-ud) in the single text [II R, 47: 22c-d], see also [G. 12; Tallqvist 1938, 258].
  • In the list of the gods K.4339 the sign AḪUD is read as dMermer, “storm, wind”;
  • d me.er.me.erAḪUD = dU4.GIŠGAL.lu = min 'Mermer = Ninurta'. [CT 25, 13, K. 4339 rev. iii 31; Litke 1998, 44-45; Tallqvist 1938, 375].
