<li>The translation ‘many days’ has been suggested by the sign ME after U<sub>4</sub>. Although MEŠ would be the expected sign, it has been taken here as the plural of <em>mādu</em>, or ‘many’.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-left:48px">KAL 1 (18, 75-77, Vs. II 15–17) reads and translates as above except for reading U<sub>4</sub>.ME and translating it as a plural for days. Therefore, KAL 1 adds <em>viele </em>‘many’ in parentheses. Both interpretations seem plausible and lead to nearly the same translation.</p>
