(The plural subject is in the previous line.) Maul and Strauß 2011: 119 explain lip-si-is-su as a variant orthography of what is typically an a/u verb. We might also consider the possibility that what is on the tablet, lip-si-is-su, is the result of a dittography of the SI in the next line (instead of the required SU), followed by an unnecessary IS, which might have been an attempt to make sense of the previous mistake(?). Whatever the precise reasons for it, the text may simply be mistaken. 6'. li#-pa-si-su a#-[a ...] #tr.en: May they rub out; may (it) n[ot . . .] 7'. mim#-ma lem-nu uz#-za ug-[gat DINGIR] #tr.en: Anything evil, anger, [divine] ra[ge], 8'.
