Second Generation Alphabetic Akkadian Publications
Many of these translation have been updated as the third generation on this site using the latest Alphabetic Akkadian lexicon. Getting accurate translations out of a new culture having many epithets is an iterative process. With each iterative translation the word meanings and grammatical constructions become more accurate and precise. Third time is the charm.
