So, here a good head start for you:
/limhurU/ seems to be a plural G precative from the verb /mahAru/. /mahAru/ basically means "to face". In other contexts, "confront", "meet", "receive", "go before", "be equal with", but all these are basically "to face". The precative (the /li/ bit) means something like "let" or "may". The /U/ (pronounced like English 'oo', properly written with a lowercase 'u' with a macron line on top) marks plural, meaning the subject of this verb must be the "Lamassu of the land" (/lamassu mAti/). So we have "may they [the Lamassu] face", probably meaning "may they receive [you]". The following verb forms are the same, so the dictionary forms are /jamAru/, /karAbu/, etc. I think you find something like "keep" and "pray". /ana/ is "to". /ana jarri bElIni/ is "For the king, our lord", beginning a new sentence (/ana/ can also be "for"! Reading the whole sentence makes the choice clear). /ilAni japU^tu/ is "obscure gods", meaning 'anything out there we forgot'! /ina Umi jeri nubatti/ is "in the day, morning [and] evening". I think it should be /jUmIjunu/ next, for "their names". Finally, /tazakkar/ is a third common singular G durative, from "to recount/remember/say", so "you will remember their names by day, morning and evening". So the sentence is "For the king, our lord, the obscure gods - you will remember there names daily, morning and evening". The break in grammar represented by the hyphen is in the Akkadian too, it's just a formal diction feature to bump the important bit further up the sentence. Casus pendens, I believe, is the grammatical term for it!
/labrAni ilAni ja bIt sibi/ would be something like "old ones, the gods of the house of seven". Here, /bIt/ ("house of") is the usual word for temple. Not sure if that interpretation works?
I'm not actually sure which text you were quoting though?

The Frankena, same text as I quoted every other time after I found it.
I'll go over the rest of your post in a bit cause I'm rather pressed for time but that is an interesting interpretation, but leaves me wondering if this is used as a title for Tidug, Šamaš and Nergal and if so the identity of Tidug would be rather interesting since Šamaš does technically descend to the Netherworld so his asociation with Nergal makes some sense in this, as well as mentioning the seven, though if this is a refference to the Sebitti/where they live and thus an allusion to the Netherworld I can't say.

Looking at Col. III. Gods of the House of Uraš of Aššur (ilani ša bit-Uraš ša Aššur) * Uraš Ninegal * NIN-šarri Manugal * Guzalu/Gu-za-lu-ú. This could be a divine Throne Bearer deity, or an epithet of a god with these functions as Gu-za-lu-ú means "throne bearer" according to "Healing Magic and Evil Demons: Canonical Udug-hul Incantations". * TA-tu-ia-a-te Frankena seems to say that it's a mistake for Ištar-tu-\a-a-at * Sa-ab-i'-la-te - nothing for this * Da-ki-ú. I have seen this name mentioned before in Reallexicon Vol 2 but it basically only describes this deity as being venerated in the Uraš Temple in Aššur, based on this text, though it doesn't name it directly. I've looked and I found a meaning of "raised"/"mobilised" for "Da-ki-u" but I have no idea if this has any relation or not. * Pu-lišanu. Reallexicon Vol. 9 calls this an intercessory God of Ištar, saying "A vulva (sassurtu) is presented to Istar's intercessory god Pu-lisanu in a MA ritual from Assur (KAR 139: 8, cf. Oppenheim, History of Religions 5 [19651 257 n.26);" Gods of the House of Gula of Aššur (ilani ša bit-Gula ša Aššur) * Ištar-kakkabani. I would assume this is the same as Ištar-kakkabi, Ištar of the Stars, a name I saw listed as a title for Ninsi’anna. * Kippatum - another refference to Circumference. I would like to know the relation between Kippatum and Kippatu Ugurta in col. IV * Amurru * Belat-seri Gula * Pabilsag * Gu-šir-ra. I've not found practically any recent refferences to this name aside from a 1928 text which reffers to Guširra as "beautiful loyal woman" and the following text from 2015 which invites Gusirra to dispatch the evil eye with a lance or stake books.google.cz/books?id=_hjsCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA93&lpg=PA93&dq=%22Gusirra%22&source=bl&ots=OT2ZZDRqJH&sig=oET_geCLrKNbspI43lpNc4TYqDY&hl=cs&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjF2_PlnPXMAhXDzRQKHcLDBs4Q6AEIHTAA#v=onepage&q=%22Gusirra%22&f=false* Kilili * Sa-hi-ir-tú. The Encyclopedia of Gods and Heroes claims this is a Goddess who is a "sender of messages between lovers", books.google.cz/books?id=Cj5OAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA39&lpg=PA39&dq=%22Sahirtu%22+goddess&source=bl&ots=zYuGxQNJk1&sig=HIC6Iwp7rd4-K_rWu2mL9n0GKxA&hl=cs&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi8naK6nvXMAhVBuBQKHe8KAxIQ6AEIIzAB#v=onepage&q=%22Sahirtu%22%20goddess&f=false* Belat-pa-le-e. Birth in Babylonia calls this Goddess "Mistress of the Pin", a goddess related to Childbirth. * Pa-še-er-tú. Has the same function as the above, the name of this Birth Goddess means "Loosener" books.google.cz/books?id=-n4LQNeU1ckC&pg=PA268&lpg=PA268&dq=%22Belat-pale%22&source=bl&ots=IjENKfG1s5&sig=irXkmj0Fwa6tGJ6U_NHLXjS03QY&hl=cs&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEjs7pnvXMAhXDXRQKHb66A3oQ6AEIHTAA#v=onepage&q=%22Belat-pale%22&f=falseGods of the House of Marduk of Aššur (ilani ša bit-Marduk ša Aššur) (Considering history this is a bit of a shock to me) * Marduk Šamaš * Sarpanitum * Bellit-Akkadi * Anunitum * Mu-šib-ši-tú. The first unfamiliar deity and yet I'm not getting anything for this one. * Tašmetum Papsukkal * Qi-bi-du-un-qi. Appears in Col. IX as well. * Sa-a-mu. I've only found scattered refferences indicating it may have something to do with the colour red. * Ra-bi-su-bitti. Is this a plural again ? I've only ever seen Rabisa as the name of one of the observers Ea sends with Nergal to the Netherworld in the Amarna Version of Nergal and Ereškigal. And now a list of gods cut off by a lacuna, hence it's not possible to say in what Temple they resided. I would hazard a guess that, seeing both a Son and Daughter of Addu/Adad in the list it might have been a Temple of Adad ? * Si-gin-na. No luck for this so far. * Lamassu elitu. Seeing as how Elitu means upper and Šaplitu lower, could this mean "Upper Lamassu" ? * Lamassu šaplitu. I'm not sure but could this be "Lower Lamassu" ? I assume these two might be a fanficul way of saying "Heaven" and "Earth" respectively but I wouldn't want to guess to wildly. * Marat-Addu. "The daughter of Addu". I've seen several daughters atributed to Adad so I don't know which one this could be. * Apil-Addu. Apladad

I don't have a lot of time today, but just wanted to say keep going with it!
Throne bearer is good. /ijx/ for TA is sensible too, so /ijtayAte/ for /ijtarAte/ is possible. I think you were right that /kippatu/ should be separated from u2-gur2-ta in col. IV - meaning the one in col. III probably is the same. Again, "circumference" is good. As for everything else, I've no easy answers, but will check back in to see what you find. You seem to be going deeper than Frankena, who just reverts to something like "12 gods named" in the translation! (I have no Dutch, but wanted to check what was interpreted as its own proper noun...)

I hope Bill doesn't crucify me for using the quote feature ( ) but I didn't exactly say they should be seperate, more because I did not think of that, nor would assume to make such a judgement with my nonexistent handling of the language but if you suggest it I have nothing to say against it. As for the Frankena, I don't have the full text hence I don't know if he explains it in any detail beyond the first few letters of the alphabet. Do you actually have access to the book or are you talking just about the google books version ?

Col. II The Column begins with "[šume-me]š-šunu tazakar". I can't really find what šume-šunu means in this case, but from the above post it seems I'm being told to remember something. Gods of the Temple of Anu and Adad of Aššur * Salmu * Išhara * Ga-aš-ra-a-nu. I have found a god called Gašru worshipped at Uruk and Mari. * Utu Bel-labiru. I believe this is Bel-Labre, God of the Ancient Ones, with a name spelled slightly differently ? * Laban Nabu. Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible says that the character of Laban as a deity is unclear, and there is a hypothesis with his identification with Mt. Lebanon, however it's not stated as anything concrete. Also the fact that a much more prevalent biblical figure has the same name makes it really hard to find any information about this deity. * Gu-ba-ba Ab-ku-u-a. Gubaba is a variant of the Hurrian Goddess Kubaba. As for Ab-ku-u-a, it's another one of those names that only come up in the oldest, pre WW II (and sometimes WW I) papers on the subject. However I do know of a Goddess named "Abakuya" worshipped in the Temple of Bel-šarru in Aššur so this probably is the same deity ? * Išum mutaliku. The divine Herald Išum, I couldn't find any sources for what "mutalliku" means, and that's rather old, but it claims it means" Isum the traverser" * Malik Anunitu * Ú-la-a I-si-ni-tú. I assume U-la-a/Ulaya is probably the deified Ulaya river ? According to A Consice Dictionary of Akkadian, Isinitu is "the Isin canal" so listing them side by side makes sense. * Anum ilani rabuti. I'm not really sure what this sentence means, if "rabuti" means "great" like some sources say then there's "great" "gods"...considering what Temple this is this might be the entry for Anu ? * Ša-lim-tum Ši-ni-bur. Šalimtum means "Black Cloud" according to the Consice Dictionary. But I've no idea what Šinibur can mean. * Narudu Kubu. Another mention of Kubu, along with Taramua down below, which brings the ritual mentioned on the previous page somewhat into perspective. * In-gu-ri-sa. From what I was able to see Frankena tenatively suggests an identification with Ningirsu. However if it would just be a different way of spelling it, would it appear twice in the same Column ? * Ebeh Adad * Šala Taramua * Nisaba Adad-birqu * Niphu-salmu * Gibil-birqu * Nuru-salmu * Ningirsu Irmeši * Iur-me-ši. I wonder if there is a relating between Irmeši and Iurmeši as they appear right after each other, however both as seperate names from that of Ningirsu. I didn't find anything for either of these though. * ziq-qur-ra-a-ti Gods of the House of Šamaš of Aššur * Sin Šamaš Salam-Šamši. Now Salam-Šamši would be the Cult Statue of Šamaš. On a somewhat unrelated note I found that Šalam-Šamši means Sunset, the literal meaning according to "Etymological Dictionary of Egyptian: M-" being "death of the Sun". * Ningal Aya * Bunene Ebeh * Kitum Umu. Kittum is a God of Truth, son of Šamaš. Umu is a storm, so I'm confused by it being mentioned next to the son of Šamaš. * Ta-am-ba-a-a/Tambâya. I've not found any refference to Tambaya except the two papers below which only translate this particular section of Col. II Oddly enough this section of Col. II seems to be adressed in at least two english language papers online, "The Splintered Divine: A Study of Ištar, Baal, and Yahweh Divine Names and Divine Multiplicity in the Ancient Near East" and "You Will be Like the Gods" my McClellan docslide.us/documents/the-splintered-divine-a-study-of-istar-baal-and.htmlreligionatthemargins.com/files/resources/scholarship/You%20Will%20Be%20Like%20the%20Gods%20%5BDaniel%20McClellan,Thom%20Stark%5D.pdf The bottom part which is cut off by a Lacuna. Now Ištar(s) appear in many of these Columns but if Frankena identifies Dumuzi correctly then this may have been Gods of the Ištar Temple ? Ištar Ištar ša ši-bir-ri Dumuzi (?)

Google Books. But I'm sure I could get hold of another edition. I'll look... Here's a picture: cdli.ucla.edu/P393809The photo's actually rather good for this one. Okay, my educated guess would be that /kippatu/ is a separate god in col. IV, and so identical to the god in col. III. Therefore u2-gur2-ta would be separate too. My initial assumption of one line one god is obviously wrong elsewhere, and there are two determinatives, and /kippatu/ can be an independent god (as shown in col. III). "Remember their names" labiru/labre are connected, but it's not "Lord of the old" ones here, at least not by standard grammar. Perhaps "Lord who is old", but would welcome comment from others here (as elsewhere, of course!). lbn is "white" in Semitic, isn't it? But deified Lebanon would make more sense. The signs DIFIR AB KU U A are visible in the photo, and u-a can represent /uya/, so correct there definitely. Never heard of her though (but never heard of 90% of these either!). "traverser" for /muttallik/ is perfect. Exactly the same etymology as Satan's description of his deeds in Job 1:7 - I never knew that existed as a type! How interesting... I'll come back to the rest if I have anything good.

I'm not finished with Col. II but had work to attend to. There seems to be two or three entries of interest left in it anyway so it shouldn't take long for me to finish it.

Finished Col. II and edited above, will move to Col. I shortly and then will have X-XII to deal with.
Not very systematic I know.

Now Col. I seems a bit odd. * Ea-šarri * Adad Šamaš * Ištar Belit-ile ša Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta * Šeruya ilani rabuti * Tašmetum Nusku Ninurta * Kip-pat-mati. I have found the deity Kippat-Mati listed in Sennacherib’s Succession Treaty (PKTA 31), but no further details about them. * Kip-pat-mati-salmu * Ku-ta-ta-ati Bel. Kutatate is a god of whom I know nothing except that he existed and that he was mentioned in the ritual, BM 121206. Based on how it was described it would be very interesting to seek it out. What I could find of the text simply says "Ištar-of-Nineveh is ahead of Kutatate who is ahead of Tašmetu, Kutatate is ahead o Tašmetu who is ahead of Nusku". * Dagan-Aššur A-gu-u. I've seen Agu be reffered to as a deified tiara. * Šam-šu Salmu * Lahmu * Aššur-Dayyane * Ea Kittu Sin * Šamaš Aššur-ka-ši-du * Ea Kittu Me-šir. It's rather hard to look up something like "Me-sir" and not get a million wrong results. * DI-MAŠ Ninurta-Aššur * Aššur-Sumuqan Tišpak *Aššur-Dayyane * Gi-má-gan. Nothing. * Ni-mu-du * Salam-Šam-šu-šarrani narati * U-su-mu-u. I see claims online that this is a different spelling of Isimud * Aššur-salmani * Ku-nu-uš-kad-ru. The only mention of this deity I've been able to find is in CTH432 www.academia.edu/2231385/An_ritual_of_hitites_for_depression_Gary_Beckman_MichiganThe ritual lists the deity Kunuš-kadru after Qaqqad and before a lacuna which proceeds with "Kušarihhu"/Kusarriku (A deified Bull man if I'm not mistaken) daltu na-kil-tu salmani alani * Lamassati ilani ta-su-ti * Dummuzi * Salmani narati Persons of special interest for me from this Column are Kippat-Mati, Gimagan, Nimudu and Kunuš-Kadru with Kutatate being also worth research though I've had his name on my list for a while now, most likely due to being brought up in the Reallexicon.

Hey all - For anyone wishing to follow the examination of the gods of Aššur, which is the fundamental point of this thread I think, you will need to have 13 pages from a book on Assyrian temple texts by Menzel. See link below: MenzelSo the difficulty is to understand: what are you looking at? I find it impossible to understand the structure of this the Menzel itself, not enough explanation, an odd and outdated structure etc. etc. and that it is in German doesn't help. So, I had to refer to the George, p. 167 in order to comprehend what Menzel is doing and how she treats the text. eprints.soas.ac.uk/19287/1/GeorgeOLA40.pdf ... So, George says there are 8 parts of the compilation known as Gotteraddressbuch - part 1 treats the 'divine directory' a list of the gods of Aššur temple by temple within that city. This is really the part we are examining here. Parts 2-8 cover the topographical location of temples. Another tricky part: Menzel herself considers the Gotteraddressbuch to begin on page 146 (t 146), but this is only the beginning of the topographical part, explaining where temples are located - however George describes the compilation as covering Menzel texts 54-63, hence including the godlist/divine directory which Menzel herself label as Gotteraddressbuch. The essential information is that the 12 columns Aššur godlist which been under discussion here (and which recent scholars deem to be the first part of the Gotteraddress buch) are given on of So pages 113-126 (t 113 to 125) of Menzel's book, pages which I have provided in the pdf above. Pages 126-146 of that book (t 126 to t 146) deal with another sort of text I'm not sure where they fit, they may be takultu text; And t146 to t 167 is the main part of the Gotteraddressbuch dealing with the location of temples/ cult topography.

I went back and realised I had missed half of Col. VI and most of Col. VIII !
So to clean up, the rest of Col. VI
* Gi-si * Zi-sur. Nothing for the first two. * Ku-ri-bi. Kuribi appears to be some lesser mythological being, as in Esarhaddon 093 it is listed after other deified "monsters" set up before the Temple Egašankalama of Ištar of Arbela. " lions, screaming anzû-birds, laḫmu-monsters, (and) kurību-genii [fashioned from silver and copper] and set (them) up in its entry doors." * Ea-šarri * Belit-irsitim * Ku-rib [missing] * Adad Šala * Sin Ningal * Salam-šarri * Belit-ile * Dumuzi * Salmu * Ištar ša sibirri * neše. "Lions", with a divine determinative * šare. I know that šarre is something along the lines of king/royal so I assume this may mean the same ? Although I'm not sure given the previous entry for neše. * Šedu Lamassu * Hepa(t). Frankena puts a question mark there but it does seem likely given the Hittite/Hurrian deities mentioned in the previous columns and the ones I glimpsed in the Columns to follow. * Aššur-Bel * Sibi Narubu * Nabu Tašmetum * Nergal La-az * Uraš Ninegal ekallu []

Now to properly examine col. VIII
* Lahmu-salmu * Banu-parak-šimati * Belit-Akkadi * GUL-sit-tu. Nothing on this. Perhaps I could find something if anyone could suggest a possible reading of GUL here ? * Mu-šab-ši-tu * Sa-ab-lu * Dayyane * Alania ilani a-ši-bu-ut šame * Anunaki rabuti mu-kin-nu ma-ha-zi šadani narati al kidinni šeluru libittu ekallu u hibšu bit-uri-na-ku šu-pal-sih manzazu limhuru balata lišmeu su-pe-e kurba ana Aššur id. ana Aššur ana šarri belini ilani ša Tu-a Sumuqan Bel-lab-re-e a-šib Ga-ni-na na-sir tarbasi
The above has already been examined and translated by Santakku on Page 1. However the part below is yet to be translated.
muhru šimi (I've found a meaning of "Appeal" for muhru) usiq šalim ur-rík rapiš ki-i niwe ša maha ú-ra-te ipušuni (I've found a translation of a passage that includes ipušuni, but I have no idea which of the words in the sentence it actually is, that being "epuš Ea Ipšur Ea ša ribu ipušuni šutma NAM.BÚR.BI etapaš " "Ea has done, Ea has undone. He who caused the earthquake has also created the aportropaic ritual against it") šume-šunu tazakar (as noted earlier this means "Remember their names")
* Šamaš ša Kal-zi * GUL-sít ša Aššur * Belit-Akkadi ša Bit-Belti * Dumuzi ša id. (Bit-Belti ?) * Papsukkal ša id. (Bit-Belti ?) * Ši-ta-GAM ša id. (Bit-Belti ?) * Nanaya ša id. (Bit-Belti ?) * Mi-na-am-nu-u ša id. (Bit-Belti ?) * Bi-tsi-il-lu ša id. * Ka-zal-sur-ra ša id. I've seen older readings pair "Gazbaba and Kazalsurra" so I think that Kazalsurra would be an older reading of Kanisurra, who is a sister of Gazbaba and daughter of Nanaya. * Belit-Akkadi ša Bit-il-ti * Kumarbi ša Te-di. Kumarbi is a very curious personage to find worshipped at Aššur, seeing that he is the unwilling father of Teššub, whom according to some interpretation he gave birth to through his head after he had bitten off the manhood of Anu, whom he served as cupbearer. * Naparbi ša id. Interesting too is the Goddess Nabarbi, as she is the wife of Tašmišu, Teššub's brother, who is another one of the Gods Kumarbi fathers accidentally after he attacks Anu. * Sa-ma-nu-ha ša id. A local god on whom I cannot find much information though he seems of similar origin as the previous two, sources claiming he is a deity of the Mitanni, though I have not yet found his name in any translation of the Shattiwaza-Suppiluliuma treaty though I found sources saying it appears there. I have found the following
"Inscription of B?l-?reš, RIMA II, A.0.96.2001: 50
(1-4) B?l-?reš, vice-regent of [GN?], beloved of the god Sa[manuha …], at the time of Aššur-rabi (II), [king of Assyria, son of Ashurnasirpal (I)], [N] + 3 years [… (5-9) Aš]šur for delineation […], at that time the god Samanuha …] the banks of the River H?b?r, from [… to …] he took possession. […] the banks of the River H?b?r the vice-[regent ….]. (10-14) At that time the god Samanu[ha …] with his exalted strength, 3,000 […]. The abandoned canal which [goes] from the land [… to …] (and) in which water no longer flowed, […] I constructed a facing for the (quay wall).

With the exalted strength of the god Samanuha, my lord, […] (20-23) I mustered his numerous workers. Bricks [… in] wooden carts, I sent. In the Euph[rates …]. A temple of joy, rejoicing, and pleasure for the gods [Samanuha (and) Gubaba], the great gods, my lords, forever. […] (29) Mannu-p?n-ili [ the scribe (…)]."

So Col. IX
* Ayatu * Belit-balati * Tahura * It-ta-KUR-ilani * Haldi-asira. I have seen mentions of this, and it basically appears that this is the Urartian supreme God Haldi. * Hal-la-dir * Lu-la-ku * Nap-ri-iš. I'm not sure if this is an instance of the Elamite deity Napiriša. * Nergal ša Hubšal * Ir-ra-gal * Ir-ki-'-kur-nu * Nanaya * Nin-ru * Belit-Nippuri * Nin-ad-qa-at * Gaz-ba-ba. Gazbaba is a daughter of Nanaya * Nin-a-zu * Ia-ab-ri-tu * Ib-la-i-tu * Qa-al-da-i-tu. A deity (Goddess ?) of Qalda * Nin-sar-be * Qa-at-ra-bu-tu * As-sa-ra-Ma-za-áš - I have seen this described as an appearance of Ahura Mazda * I-gi-gi ilani ša šame * A-nun-na-ki ilani ša irsitim * šutu II III IV ilani bel irsitim šede Til-pa-nu kakke - I have seen that Tilpanu means "bow" * Da-hu-ra-a-te. This seems to be a mention of the Elamite deity Ruhurater, which seems in keeping with the appearance of other "foreign" deities in this Column * urpanu šamamu ep-re-e-tu * salam (?) Aššur alani ša parakke-ša ma-sa-ra-tu-ša hur-ba-nu-ša ti-la-nu-ša su-uk-ku ni-me-du parakki ku-um-mu a-a-ku ša Aššur šadani naq-bi narati kib-rat erbettim
