THE IMPERFECTLY SLOW DEATH OF SUMERIAN http://sumeriantestament.blogspot.com/2012/10/87-bu-perfect.

html There are moments in Sumerian exhaustive process of word creation when the scribes get really tired and they just produce wholesale artificial words that share almost their entire phonetic value across the board with particular Akkadian words. The relationship is so ostentatious that one cant stop but wonder that if these were the last breathing moments of Sumerian. The scribes simply did not care to hide their tracks. It was already common knowledge that Sumerian was a failed project. Nobody would ever use it outside the palace where it was created. Semitic people never took the initiative to kill their inherited matriarchal language in order to substitute it with an artificial patriarchal idiom.

bu [PERFECT] (28x: Old Akkadian, Ur III) wr. bu; bu2 "perfect" Akk. gitmalu [1] [2] bu bu2

Akk. gitmalu [PERFECT] would be chopped down to generate Sumerian phonetic values: gid2 (gida2 gidi3 git2 kid10 kit10) gid [DRAG]. gid [LONG]. gidim3 gidim [IRRIGATOR] (egidim3). gim7 (see full listing) kim3 (gim7 gidim3) kim [STONE]. kim [WILLOW]. madal madal [POLE] (emadal,emamadal). malla malalum [CONTAINER](emalla). mudla mudla [BASKET].

Sumerian ideogram BU bu bu [FLIT]. bu [PERFECT]. bur12 bur [TEAR]. gazinbu (gazimbi gazinbi) gazinbu [POLE]. gid2 (gida2 gidi3 git2 kid10 kit10) gid [DRAG]. gid [LONG]. gidim3 gidim [IRRIGATOR] (egidim3). gim7 (see full listing) kim3 (gim7 gidim3) kim [STONE]. kim [WILLOW]. madal madal [POLE] (emadal,emamadal). malla malalum [CONTAINER](emalla). mudla mudla [BASKET]. nun3 nun [FIGHT]. pu (see full listing) sir2 sir [BIND]. sir [CHECK]. sir [DENSE]. er [BRIGHT]. su13 su [SPRINKLE]. aku (aki) aku [POLE]. ir2 (see full listing) Full listing.

Also: dim13, dul10, dur7, gazibu, gi27, gi2, guz2, ildumx(BU), madla, madlu, mudlu, mudra3, mudru3, mudul, mulla, mullu, pi8, qid2, qit2, ra5?, six(BU), sud4, sugx(BU), surx(BU), su3, er2, ud2, tur8.

we know that ideograms are alphabetic signs that connect different Sumerian words, unrelated to one another. So what is the linking sound among: Sumerian sir2 sir [BIND]. sir [CHECK]. sir [DENSE]. er [BRIGHT]. and Sumerian BU bu [FLIT] bu [PERFECT]

bu [FLIT] (10x: Old Babylonian) wr. bu; bu2; wu "to flit, chase about" Akk. naarbuu [1] [2] [3] + [1] [2] [3] 9 distinct forms attested; click to view forms table. 1. to flit, chase about (10x/100%) LEX/Old Babylonian/unknown lu2 al-BU-BU = mu-ut-[ta-ah-li-lum] lu2-azlag B and C Seg.2, 25; lu2 al-BU-BU = mu-bu-[u2-um] lu2-azlag B and C Seg.2, 26. ELA/Ur III/Umma a-e-bu2a kun i7-da-ka sahar si-gaOntario 2, 176 2. unknown/Old Babylonian/unknown [[bu]] = = = na-a-ar-bu-um RA 09, 77-78 i 23. See: lil bu.

Sumerian phonetic values sir [BIND]. sir [CHECK]. sir [DENSE]. er [BRIGHT]. are extracted from Akk. naarbuu "to flit, chase about". while Akk. naarbuu is related to Sumerian a-e-bu2-a sahar while Sumerian al-BU-BU obtained its prefix from Akk. mu-ut-ta-ah-li-lum As we can see the same scribe who invented Sumerian artificially generated words was also a Semitic speaker. It means that Sumerian language is a lab creation that never saw the sunlight out of the palace or the temple where it was recited to the astonished Semitic congregation. Nobody used Sumerian while tending the crops or chasing sheep and goats.
