Lexeme: pāt- / pat-, pata-
- Romanised orthography:
- pāt- / pat-, pata-
- Native script:
- pa-a-tu-u[š]
Notes: The lexeme is normally spelled using the Sumerogram GÌR (Akk. ŠĒPU), e.g. nom.sg. GÌR-aš. The native script form given, pa-a-tu-u[š] is acc.pl. Also attested are instr. pa-te-et, gen.pl. pa-ta-a-an, and dat.-loc.pl. pa-ta-a-aš. According to Kloekhorst (2008:653-654) the OH forms may reflect the original athematic root noun, while the thematic pata- forms attested in NH are secondary innovations.
