| //Description//: Ashm 1923-400 and 401 are two square prisms containing two overlapping parts of a forerunner to the lexical series Diri : SI.A : //watru//. Together with Old Babylonian versions from Nippur and Sippar "Diri Oxford" lists compound logograms and their Akkadian translations. The Nippur-version additionally gives the respective readings. Diri was identified as a supplemental sign vocabulary to the list Ea : A : //nâqu//, whose entries follow the same pattern. (In the canonical version from the late 2nd and 1st millennia) the first column contains syllabically written sign-readings, which are followed by compound logograms in the second column. A third column in the late versions contains analytical writings for the signs used in the compounds. Finally the compilers added an Akkadian translation. The readings can - in most cases - not be directly implied from the constituents of the compound logograms. Given the high amount of Diri-composita in Sumerian texts, the list holds a key to the Sumerian phonetics.
