#tr.en: You recite [(this) incantation in the presence of] Sin. Then you tie (the wool) on the heel of your left side, and you will be well.
#note: Hätinen reads the conjunctive -ma as DUL (2021: 499) but rejects that reading on eBL. I follow the latter. The issue is whether or not to identify a shadow and depression on the tablet as a Winkelhaken.
